1000ltr plus red diesel tanks etc

[swinny]

Just wondering what everyone is using for bulk diesel tank 1000ltr plus....

 

Currently using an ibc but was considering getting a proper tank with a 12v pump and a nozzle so I could stop using so many 25ltr drums and throwing them onto the tractor bonnet to fill it up etc bastard when its windy and filling it up!

 

Cheers

My mate makes fuel tanks based in Nelson Lancashire. They ship country wide and and can build them to spec. Also sell a wide range of plastic tanks pumps etc 

UK bunded fuel tanks

I thought a double bunded tank was a legal requirement since last year, I know we had a letter from the suppliers we use. I would go for at least a 1200 litre so you can get a discount on ordering 1000+ without worrying about draining it completely.

Just stick a 12v pump on the IBC job done.

Those half barrels Mick Dundee knocked up are good for day to day machine filling, no mess.

I pondered this for a while, then bit the bullet and bought one of these

 

Atlas Oil Tank 1300FDA

Capacity 1300 Lt, Length 1800mm/71”, Width 1300mm/51”, Height 1900mm/75”, Footprint...

 

it was considerably cheaper than that though, paid about £1200 inc vat. I picked it up myself. I must say it is very good quality and will last for years.

I was of the understanding if it was mobile there was no need for a bunded tank.

 

We use an IBC and raise it on a crate of logs so no need for a pump

I thought bunded was a requirement, the drivers would refuse to fill anything else etc. So I bought 2300l one for red and 1300l one for white, £600 and £700. Driver came out, said nah mate, we'll fill whatever you want!

 

I feel better having it in bunded metal tanks rather than plastic IBC's however. I was having nightmares about sticking the forks through the IBC, and the tanks weren't exactly expensive second hand.
