Diesel Fuel Storage Tanks Farm Use
When operating in remote or challenging agricultural terrain, machinery needs to be built to withstand the conditions of the tough Australian climate. Such heavy-duty machinery needs reliable refuelling solutions to support their operations and this is best achieved with good quality diesel fuel storage tanks for farm use. Diesel fuel storage tanks allow for a range of flexible mobile refuelling alongside convenient bulk fuel storage.
Importance of Diesel Fuel Storage Tanks on farms
Diesel is an essential fuel for powering farming operations, fuelling tractors and other key pieces of equipment. It is as integral to keeping the farm running as the machinery itself. When choosing your fuel storage solutions for agricultural refuelling purposes, it is important to select a fuel tank that safely stores diesel as it is highly combustible. Investing in premium grade diesel fuel tanks helps ensure safety is maximised and that fuel is being correctly stored to ensure it does not leak and cause environmental damage. Good quality tanks also help ensure the quality of your diesel does not diminish which in turn could damage your machinery, equipment or performance.
With the costs of diesel fuel continuously rising, your fuel storage tank is an important consideration to maximise fuel efficiency and reduce the cost of refuelling. Bulk fuel storage tanks come with differing fuel management systems such as the SmartFill Management System which provides instant and simplified fuel tracking, with real-time, accurate, fuel data available remotely across numerous devices. Improved fuel tracking helps keep fuel costs lower and allows you to invest saved cashflow into other crucial areas of the business.
Advantages of Diesel Fuel Tanks for on Farm Use
Diesel fuel storage tanks improve operational efficiency through easy access to refuelling on-site, ensuring daily operations continue smoothly and reducing costly downtime in refuelling delays. Â Storing any combustible liquid brings with it additional risks, so it is vital to select a fuel storage tank that is manufactured to meet Australian Safety standards.
Advantages of on-site fuel storage with a reliable fuel tank include:
Additional Safety Measures: As diesel is a highly combustible liquid, there is possibility for it to be destructive across your property. In order to prevent this, it is important your fuel storage tank is contained in a fuel tank that prevents any spillage or leakage. Features such as self-bunding, lockable lids and overfill protection valves all contribute to having a safe level of fuel maintained.
Time Saved on Refuelling: On-site fuel storage permits easier mobile refuelling allowing for increased productivity on agricultural activities.
Maintained Fuel Quality: Storing fuel in correct conditions within appropriate temperatures and light conditions, ensures you are maintaining fuel in peak condition maximising its efficiency. This ensures your machinery is additionally operating at its best capacity, as the fuel it is using is not of corrosive quality.

We had a great experience working with Durotank on our order for a 2,400L water cart trailer, set up for firefighting and tree watering. Their team was responsive throughout the process and delivered exactly what we needed on schedule, despite a very tight timeframe. The build quality is excellent - it’s clear a lot of care and expertise went into the manufacturing. We also value being able to support an Australian-made company and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Durotank for both their product quality and service.
Joel Courtney – APMS Operations
We considered many other brands of diesel tank but quickly settled on Durotank - they ticked all the boxes. An Australian-made, self bunded quality tank with the ability to load and transport on-site whilst full is a winner.
The team communicated professionally with us regarding modifications and build timing. We will certainly use Durotank again and would confidently recommend them to others.
Andrew Reeves, Ethtec
We had a great experience working with Durotank in purchasing our service trailer, from the enquiry stage to the delivery date the Durotank team were pleasant and very professional. Emily from the sales team answered any and all questions we had about specs and options, working with us to meet expectations and budget limitations. The production team kept us well informed of build schedule and approximate delivery dates. Overall we highly recommend the Durotank team if your looking for a service trailer, value for money is second to none and the quality is top notch.
Aaron Asquith - Leading Hand - Rental Komatsu Australia, Truganina Branch VIC
We purchased Durotank’s 2400 Litre poly water trailer with fire-fighter pump and hose reel, plus optional dribble bar and batter sprays attached.
Our property, Duxton Farm, borders the Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory. Because of this, early season burning is extremely important to prevent uncontrollable bushfires later in the dry season. The trailer has been an invaluable asset to fire control – always full and ready to go when the call comes.
We’ve found it to be well balanced, empty or full, with the baffle ball system effectively controlling surge. We have had no issues with set-up, towing it with either a Landcruiser or Hilux.
Overall, we’re extremely happy with our purchase and the support from the Durotank team. We’ll be back.
Bruce Connolly, Northern Regional Manager, Duxton Farms
I purchased a Poly Tank Fuel Trailer from DUROTANK in April 2018. DUROTANK builds one of the best fuel trailers I have ever used. The build quality, engineering and attention to detail is unreal. The fuel trailer is rock solid, it tracks extremely well full of fuel at 100km/hr and its road worthy. All of the fittings are hoses are high quality hydraulic hose and crimped fittings so there are no leaks. The Durotank team is very easy to deal with and more than happy to help with any enquiries. The staff are friendly and it is a pleasure to do business with them. I’d buy another one in a heartbeat, that’s for sure
Ben Harris – AB Contract Farming
The Duro Cubes are going extremely well! My guys are very happy with them. Having them already saved us on oil transport on at least 2 occasions so far and has also allowed us to restructure our oil work days and use out of hours oil deliveries to make more efficient use of the time on site.

As a business owner I would highly recommend DUROTANK to any person who is serious about saving money, purchasing and storing their own fuel in bulk, particularly in today’s challenging economic times. DUROTANK supplied us an excellent quality Australian made fuel tank built to the specs that suited out business. Our staff love how easy it is to use and how much time it saves refuelling each week. We purchased the Smartfill System with it and its definitely a worthwhile investment both for use and fuel management. The aftersales service from DUROTANK has been outstanding.
Tony Grace – Lachlan Valley
The supply process from quotation to order placement, being kept informed of manufacturing process and delivery date and final delivery was seamless. I really appreciated the proactive approach to driving a positive Customer Experience. I couldn’t fault the product or service at all.
