A Guide to Fuel Storage Tanks
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.
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?

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.
