Running out of fuel during operation is the last thing you want. When your tractor runs out of fuel on the farm or you need to refuel your generator, portable fuel tanks come in handy. With its reliable, convenient, and flexible nature, portable fuel storage tanks have become indispensable equipment for construction sites, agriculture farms, and other job sites. The portable diesel fuel tanks offer safe and easy storage and fuel transport wherever required.
Storing and transporting fuel could be dangerous, but it does not have to be. With its top-of-the-line portable fuel tanks, VEVOR ensures that fuel storage, transport, and refueling are safe, easy, and clean.
Portable diesel storage tanks are designed for safe fuel storage and transport, making them suitable for a wide range of industries and applications. Portable diesel tanks allow for safe and easier transport of fuel, eliminating costly fuel deliveries. They come in various sizes, from smaller tanks for personal use to large tanks for commercial purposes.
Where fixed diesel storage tanks only allow safe storage of diesel, portable tanks also offer easy transport wherever fuel is needed. With a portable diesel fuel tank, you do not have to bring your engine to the fuel storage tank, but you can take your portable fuel tank to the engine and refuel it wherever it runs out of fuel.
There are different types of diesel fuel tanks, each catering to specific needs and requirements. Let us explore them one by one.
Bunded diesel tanks feature an additional protective barrier, known as a bund or double wall, around their primary tank that helps contain leaks, spills, or overfilling. Bunded tanks offer superior environmental protection, thus making them the preferred choice in environmentally sensitive areas or applications with stringent fuel storage regulations.
Plastic diesel tanks offer lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and cost-effective portable fuel storage options. Constructed from high-quality polyethylene material for strength and longevity. Plastic fuel storage tanks are lightweight and easy to transport. They are popular for personal usage and small-scale operations.
Steel diesel tanks are known for their robust construction and long-term use in industrial and commercial settings. They are better for security and offer protection against vandalism, but they are very heavy and less easy to transport. With steel fuel storage tanks, there might be an added risk of the metal reacting with diesel. This is why at VEVOR, we only use high-quality polyethylene for the construction of our portable diesel tanks. As far as the nozzle is concerned, it is made of aluminum alloy and PVC to prevent potential chemical reactions between the nozzle and oil.
Biodiesel tanks are specifically designed for storing biodiesel fuel. These tanks are constructed using materials that are compatible with biodiesel storage and ensure their quality and integrity.
To ensure that you get the right portable diesel tank that meets your requirements, you need to consider the following factors:
● Storage capacity requirements: Determine your fuel usage needs and then identify your storage capacity requirements. Carefully consider factors such as frequency of refilling, duration of use, and availability of sources. At VEVOR, we offer two sizes of outboard fuel tanks:
o 58-gallon portable diesel tank
o 116-gallon Portable diesel storage tank
● Material and construction quality: Pay attention to the material and construction quality of the tank when selecting one for durability and longevity. Consider fuel storage tanks that are made of robust and corrosion-resistant plastics to withstand transport impacts like bumps and vibrations.
● Safety features: When looking for a portable diesel fuel tank, safety should always take precedence. Look for tanks equipped with leak-proof seals, and secure locking mechanisms. These features help prevent fuel spills, contamination, or unauthorized access.
● Certifications and compliance with industry standards: Do not just focus on features but also consider certifications and manufacturers’ compliance with industry standards such as UN/DOT or local fuel storage and transport regulations.
● Consider portability and handling: Take into account how easily the tank can be transported and handled, and look for features such as handles, wheels, or lifting points that facilitate smooth mobility. VEVOR portable diesel tanks have two grooves and forklift pockets for smooth lifting and safe movement.
● Additional accessories: Check whether the tank comes equipped with additional components or accessories, such as a fuel transfer pump, hoses, or nozzles, that may increase the efficiency of fuel transfer operations. VEVOR fuel tanks have a filter to filtrate impurities; a fuel gauge for capacity monitoring; a fuel pump, a hose, and a nozzle for fast and smooth delivery.
