Fuel Storage Tank

A Guide to Fuel Storage Tanks

Being able to readily and efficiently access fuel is important for a wide range of industries across Australia to maximize productivity and save time and money. Bulk fuel storage tanks provide the ideal solution to ensure business operations work optimally and are not impacted by expensive, slow or insufficient fuel supplies. Storage tanks allow bulk quantities of fuel to be purchased at more competitive pricing. With fuel costs set and supplies secured, accurate forecasting of the cost and time of associated business activities can be readily achieved.
What is a fuel storage tank?
Fuel storage tanks in their most simplest forms are containers that are suitable for safely holding fuel indefinitely without corrosion of the holding vessel or contamination of the fuel supply or the surrounding area.
How is a self-bunded fuel tank different from other fuel tanks?
A self bunded tank is a fuel storage tank that has double steel walls that safely store diesel, ULP, Diesel Adblue and many other petrochemical liquids. The double steel walls protect against leaks and spillages, so are important for preventing contamination.What is the purpose of a fuel storage tank?
Fuel storage tanks allow fuel to be held on site safely meaning fuel can be readily and quickly accessed as required.

How do storage tanks work?
Storage tanks are delivered to the selected site and located on a flat level surface that is easily accessible for tanks and machinery to be refilled from. A fuel tanker visits the site and refills the tank as needed. Once this is done the fuel storage tank is ready for use. Simply pull up to the tank and refill the vehicle or machinery using the pumps provided.

How do you maintain a fuel storage tank?
Fuel storage tanks need to be regularly maintained to keep all working areas clean and tidy, this will lessen the chance of any contamination of your fuel and damage to your tank. All equipment and fittings should be regularly checked for damage, loss of parts or accessories.

How do you clean a fuel storage tank?
Use an approved detergent when cleaning all parts of your storage tank.

Why do you need a fuel storage tank?
Having fuel readily available helps businesses be efficient and agile in their operations. Having a fuel contingency plan helps to ensure businesses are not impacted should supply disruptions eventuate or severe weather conditions affect fuel supplies.

 

What are the benefits of fuel storage tanks?

Time and Cost Savings: A fuel storage tank can store large amounts of fuel safely and accessibly. This in turn means staff are not required to leave the site to refuel machines and vehicles, saving time and money for the organisation.

Flexibility: Fuel storage tanks can be safely moved from one site to another depending on where they are currently needed, so you can have your fuel easily at hand wherever you need it most. For remote locations, fuel storage tanks can be effectively used even when there is no power on site through solar or diesel power systems.

Safety: All our fuel storage tanks are built to the highest Australian safety standards. Our self bunded fuel tanks are equipped with double steel walls preventing rupture, spills and leakage of stored liquids. This helps ensure your site can comply with environmental standards surrounding safety and contamination.

Low Maintenance: Durotank’s fuel storage tanks are excellent time savers for another reason, they are easy to install, require minimal set up and are very low maintenance.

quote-01I 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

quote-01The 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.
