Collection: Diesel Dispensing Tanks

A diesel storage tank is designed purely for holding fuel and usually requires additional equipment to dispense fuel. A diesel dispensing tank is supplied as a complete system with dispensing equipment already fitted, allowing fuel to be transferred safely and efficiently on site without additional installations.

Yes, the vast majority of diesel dispensing tanks sold in the UK are bunded (double-skinned). Bunded tanks provide secondary containment to help prevent fuel leaks and environmental contamination, and are often required for commercial and industrial use.

Most diesel dispensing tanks are supplied as a complete unit, including:

1. Diesel pump (12v, 24v, 110v or 230v depending on model)
2. Delivery hose
3. Automatic or manual nozzle

Some models also include flow meters, filters, and fuel management systems. Always check the individual product specification for full details.

Yes, diesel dispensing tanks are suitable for storing and dispensing red diesel where its use is permitted. The tank itself does not restrict fuel type, but it is the user’s responsibility to ensure red diesel is used in accordance with current UK regulations.

Yes, diesel dispensing tanks are designed for outdoor use and are manufactured from durable plastic or steel materials that can withstand UK weather conditions. They should be installed on a suitable, level base and positioned in line with manufacturer guidance and environmental regulations.

In most cases, diesel tanks do not require a petroleum license (unlike petrol tanks). However, environmental regulations, planning considerations, and site-specific rules may apply - particularly for larger tanks or commercial premises. You should always ensure your installation complies with local authority and environmental requirements.

Yes, many diesel dispensing tanks can be supplied with, or upgraded to include, fuel management systems. These systems allow you to control access, monitor fuel usage, track consumption by vehicle or user, and improve accountability across your operation.

Diesel dispensing tanks are available with different pump power options, including:

1. 12v or 24v (often vehicle or battery powered)
2. 110v
3. 230v mains power

The correct option depends on your site setup and how the tank will be used.

Diesel dispensing tanks are typically delivered by specialist haulage. Larger tanks may arrive on a flatbed vehicle and require suitable access and offloading equipment on site. Delivery requirements vary by tank size and should be checked before ordering.

Choosing the right diesel dispensing tank depends on:

1. Required fuel capacity
2. Frequency of refueling
3. Type of vehicles or machinery being fueled
4. Available space and access
5. Power supply requirements
6. Whether fuel management or metering is needed
