About

1000 Litre Diesel Tanks: Storage & Dispensing Solutions High-capacity 1000-litre diesel tanks provide a compact, compliant solution for onsite refueling. Available in bunded (double-skinned) plastic or steel, these tanks are ideal for agriculture, construction, and backup generator supply, featuring 12V, 24V, or 230V integrated pump systems. What is a 1000 Litre Diesel Tank? A 1000-litre diesel tank is a medium-capacity fuel storage container designed for the safe and legal storage of white diesel (DERV), red diesel (HVO/Gas Oil), and biofuels. At approximately 220 gallons, these units strike the perfect balance between high-volume storage and a manageable footprint, often designed to fit on a standard 1200mm x 800mm pallet for easy transport. Key Types & Features When choosing a 1,000L tank, consider the following configurations based on your operational environment: Bunded Diesel Tanks (Required by Law): Most of our 1000L range features a "tank-within-a-tank" design. This secondary containment (the bund) holds 110% of the inner tank's capacity, preventing environmental contamination in the event of a leak. Plastic vs. Steel Construction: * Plastic (MDPE): Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and cost-effective for general commercial use. Steel: Highly secure, impact-resistant, and preferred for high-risk sites or long-term outdoor durability. Dispensing Options: Choose from integrated 230V mains-powered pumps for fixed installations, or 12V/24V battery-powered pumps for mobile site refueling. Transportable Models: We stock UN-approved 1000-litre "Fuel Hubs" and "Cubes" designed for road transport (ADR compliant), allowing you to move fuel between sites legally. Common Questions (FAQ) Is a 1000 litre diesel tank large enough for a backup generator? Yes. For most small-to-medium commercial backup generators, a 1000L "Day Tank" provides 24–48 hours of continuous run-time, depending on the generator's KVA rating and load.
