Save time and money with on-site fuel storage!
Whether your business offers agricultural, industrial, mining, transportation or other services, investing in an on-site fuel storage solution can save your business time and money.
In less than one year alone, the tank pays for itself in cost savings and in 10 years, the possible cost savings are a staggering $768,000!
Here are 5 additional reasons that highlight how investing in an on-site fuel solution can save your business time and money.
It saves you time
On-site fuel storage is highly economical if your business owns a fleet of vehicles. It can save you time and energy. Purchasing a fuel storage solution will reduce your fleets refuelling travel time. Jobs can be completed faster, giving your team more time to spend on other projects and save you money in wages over time.
If you need to refuel frequently, an on-site fuel tank becomes an even better investment to save time and effort.
It saves you money
Cheaper fuel prices
Refuelling at fuel stations not only burns excess fuel that you could have used to complete a job, but it also means you’re at the mercy of consumer price changes.
Having an on-site fuel solution means you have greater control over your fuel costs. As the case is with most consumables, prices become cheaper when you buy in bulk. This is no different when purchasing fuel.
In addition to receiving the advantages of lower prices, combining on-site fuel storage enables you to predict future expenses as you can monitor both how much fuel you are using and how much you have stored in your tanks. This knowledge will provide you with a better handle on your finances.
Reduce maintenance costs
If you have fuel available on-site, then your fleet will be travelling less to re-fuel, resulting in fewer repairs and services over their lifetime.
Fewer kilometres on the odometer will buy you more time before you need to replace your fleet vehicles. Multiply those savings over time and you could be put that extra money towards a new investment for your business.
Better fuel quality
When you rely on others for your fuel supply there is a greater risk of insufficient measures being taken against diesel bug or contaminated fuel
If your refuelling point has contaminated fuel and is unavailable for a period, this has huge implications on your vehicles, deadlines, and expenditure
Contaminated fuel can have serious effects on your engines, fuel systems and tanks resulting in significant problems for your fleet, including:
- Poor engine performance (caused by insufficient fuel reaching the engine)
- Increased fuel consumption
- Altered fuel composition/ degradation of fuel components
- Higher fuel usage
- Engine failure, in severe cases
- Blocked filters
- Exhaust emissions
- Leaking fuel tanks (caused by corrosion)
When you invest in an on-site fuel solution, you have control over your fuel . This ensures peace of mind knowing what’s going into your machinery and the quality of the fuel to keep your engines clean and running in top condition.
Minimise the risk of fuel theft
Fuel theft can be a problem that is hard to identify for many businesses. Staff may be abusing their fuel allowances or fuel cards without you knowing. You can prevent fuel theft by enabling your vehicles to re-fuel on-site, giving you fuel security and complete control over your staff’s fuel usage.

My experience with Durotank was exceptional from start to completion.
Emily was patient with us from the start - we took a while to make our decision, but she was always ready to help. She proactively addressed all enquiries and offered comprehensive support. No pressure, just good service.
Furthermore, Durotank was highly accommodating when we requested custom signage. It turned out great and looked fantastic.
I highly recommend Durotank to any organisation seeking a seamless, efficient, and thoroughly professional supplier for diesel tank requirements.
Joe Valesini - AUS Inds Customer Relationship Manager Motion
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.

Nick Dunlop – Kelton Rentals
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.
Peter – Meadows Family Restaurants
All our fuel trailers and on site tanks are supplied by Durotank which are built with strength and quality and always delivered on time, helpful and friendly staff, won’t get better.
