What Is Diesel Tank

 

 

A diesel tank is a safe storage solution for flammable and hazardous liquids like diesel, gasoline, petrol, and more. Some are highly portable or transportable, which means that they are designed to transport and dispense fuel to jobsites when needed. They can also store fuel in large amounts in the right condition for preservation and optimal performance.

 

Advantages of a Diesel Tank

 

Whether you work in construction, mining, pipeline, forestry, agriculture, powerline, or other industries, you know how important it is to have a reliable fuel source for your equipment. That's why it's best practice to invest in a storage solution. Below are some of the key benefits of having a diesel tank:

 

Cost Savings
Saving money is one of the greatest benefits of investing in a diesel tank. How? 1) Fuel prices can fluctuate and having a diesel tank can help companies take advantage of lower prices when available, 2) Many companies offer discounts for purchasing fuel in bulk, and 3) You can achieve better fuel control and management as you're able to predict how much fuel you use and when you use it. All of these can help you plan for your fuel expenses and budget more effectively.

 

Long-Lasting with Easy Maintenance
Most diesel tanks are durable and long-lasting. They're made of high-quality materials such as steel and metal that can withstand harsh weather elements and the wear and tear of everyday use. Moreover, they're typically very easy to inspect and maintain as needed.

 

Reduced Contamination Risk
A diesel tank can help you reduce the risk of fuel contamination by controlling the storage and handling of your fuel. An added benefit is that it gives you peace of mind knowing that you have enough fuel, and that it will not be easily contaminated.

 

Convenience
Having a diesel tank on site allows companies to have a convenient way to store and access fuels for their vehicles and equipment. Therefore, diesel tanks can save you time and money by eliminating the need to travel to a fuel station or other off-site location to refuel frequently.

 

Reliability & Flexibility
Unlike fuel stations that often run out of fuel, diesel tanks are much more reliable. You likely know the amount that is in your tank and can ensure you have a constant fuel supply even where there could be a regional or country-wide shortage. The storage solutions are also flexible, and you are free to choose the size and type of tank that best suits your needs.

 

More Environmentally Friendly
Diesel tanks can be considered eco-friendlier than refueling at stations. For example, gasoline contains harmful chemicals that pollute the air and water, but with a diesel tank, you can reduce the release of these toxic chemicals into the environment. Fuel storage also reduces your business' carbon footprint since you will no longer rely on frequent fuel deliveries, especially from long distances.

 

Adequate Preparation During Crisis
Using a diesel tank, you can stay ready with your fuel and evade unexpected inflation prices. By doing this, you control how much money you spend on fuel and even when the prices spike, you'll have enough to keep you going until they drop again.

 

Types Of Diesel Tanks

 

 

Diesel tanks comes in a variety of types and sizes from drums and bowsers to above-ground diesel tanks and underground tanks. As above-ground diesel tanks are made for bulk liquid storage they tend to be used commercially. These are available for regular diesel and biodiesel, in plastic (polyethylene) and steel. Our standard tanks are available in sizes from 1,350 litres to 100,000 litres.

 

Bunded diesel tanks
Bunded diesel tanks have two layers – an inner tank and an outer tank (bund) which acts as a secondary containment (a tank within a tank). In the event of a leak from the main tank, the outer layer will contain all the oil which would otherwise risk contaminating the local area. Integrally bunded tanks are the most popular kind of secondary containment. The alternative involves constructing a bund from masonry or concrete which is inconvenient, costly and makes a time-consuming installation. All of our diesel tanks are bunded.

 

Plastic diesel tanks
Our polyethylene diesel tanks are manufactured from a durable UV-stabilised and corrosion resistant polymer. Plastic tanks are a hardy but more cost-effective alternative to steel tanks. To increase the strength of our plastic tanks they are roto moulded – a process which creates a single unit without joints and seams which create weaker areas. Our bunded plastic tanks have a design life of at least 20 years and hold a 10 year warranty.

 

Steel diesel tanks
Steel diesel tanks are more expensive to manufacture than plastic but offer greater adaptability and have a design life of 30 years with a 10 year warranty Generally steel diesel tanks are made to order meaning they can meet bespoke requirements, capacities and dimensions. This makes steel tanks popular with people who need to install a diesel tank to fit into an exact area such as those who want to replace a tank with the same footprint. Because steel tanks are fabricated by hand and don't rely on moulds they can reach a much bigger capacity than plastic tanks. Our steel tanks are available in capacities up to 100,000 litres.

 

How To Maintain a Diesel Tank?

To help achieve the tank's full design life and reduce the risk of a leak, it's vital to ensure that diesel tanks are maintained and inspected on a regular basis by a competent person. Diesel tanks, particularly those storing gas oil with a high percentage of FAME, may also require a fuel maintenance program to detect and remove water.

 

Checking Your Diesel
It's recommended that you check your diesel tank on a monthly basis and after any episodes of extreme weather. Some of the visible signs you should look for on the tank include:

  • The fill point arrangement for soundness and leaks
  • Any outlet valves should be checked for leaks and operation (open and close successfully)
  • The testing of contents gauge, any high level / overfill alarm and bund alarm.
  • If vents can be seen that they are clear and unblocked and free of debris.
  • A visual inspection around the tank with emphasis on the base of the tank.

The inspection for plastic tanks should include any deformation of the surface of the tank such as:

  • Excessive bulging
  • Change in colour due to chemical attack
  • Crazing or stress fractures.
  • The inspection of steel tanks should include looking for evidence of:
  • Rust and heavy corrosion
  • Damp patches on seams & seam fractures.
  • The bund to be visually inspected for soundness and integrity, water, spilt product, or other debris.

 

Fuel Maintenance Program
Diesel stored over a long period of time will deteriorate. This causes a slimy residue made from bacteria, algae and fungi, sometimes known as 'diesel bug', to appear in your tank. Often the first sign of this is when filters become blocked on dispensing pumps.

Water is the primary cause of diesel bug as it creates an environment where microorganisms can grow. For that reason, water prevention and removal make up the greatest part of maintenance. Water enters the tank due to condensation from temperature changes and rainwater entering faulty seals. However, water isn't the only contaminant. Dirt, debris and must also be removed from the tank. To properly maintain your tank you should:

  • Establish a fuel maintenance program to detect when water is present.
  • Check the tank for water – on a basic level, this can be achieved by using a water finding paste which you apply to a gauge line or rod. The detection of water will make this change colour. For a more comprehensive method, you can use a filtration tank sampler kit which is then sent off to a lab for analysis.
  • Remove water and debris from the tank before microorganisms can grow.
  • Inspect fill points and gaskets for damage which may permit water to enter the tank.
  • Check and replace filter if necessary. This is usually every 3 to 6 months but depends upon the frequency of use.

 

Fuel Cleaning
There are numerous fuel additives on the market which work to clean the fuel and prevent contamination. Fungicides and biocides prevent the growth of fungus and bacteria which keeps the tank clean and ultimately extends the life of diesel. Anti-oxidant additives prevent fuel from oxidising which reduces the formation of diesel bug.

As well as using cleaning additives in a tank, the tank itself should be emptied and thoroughly cleaned roughly every 5 years. We recommend using a professional tank cleaning service to reduce the risk of fuel spillages or fuel contamination.

FAQ

 

Q: How long can diesel sit in a tank before it goes bad?

A: Diesel fuel can only be stored from 6 to 12 months on average - sometimes longer under the best conditions. Generally, to prolong the life of the quality of stored diesel fuel, it should be: Kept cool at around 70 degrees Fahrenheit; Treated with biocides and stabilizers.

Q: How long does diesel stay good for?

A: Generally speaking, diesel fuel can be stored for up to 6 months to 1 year without significant degradation if its stored in a clean, dry and cool environment. However, if the fuel is exposed to high temperatures, moisture or other contaminants, its shelf life can be significantly reduced.

Q: What happens if you put regular fuel in a diesel tank?

A: Diesel fuel is also considered a lubricant, so if you use regular gas when you are not supposed to, it does not allow the fuel injector pump to be properly lubricated. Gasoline detonates earlier, so when it is wrongly added to a diesel vehicle, it can cause engine knocking, misfiring, and damage.

Q: What is the shelf life of diesel in a tank?

A: With proper storage and maintenance practices, diesel fuel can last six to twelve months on average. This is true for regular clear diesel that is used for on-road vehicles and off-road/red-dyed diesel that is used in commercial and industrial settings.

Q: Does a diesel pump stop when tank is full?

A: When the fuel level in the tank rises enough to block the tiny hole, a mechanical system in the handle of the pump senses the change in suction and turns off the nozzle immediately. If you look at the nozzle the next time you go to the filling station to fill up your car, you'll see a small hole.

Q: How often should you start a diesel engine in storage?

A: Temporarily removing the glow plugs will make it easier for a diesel engine that's been sitting a long time to start. To better maintain your vehicle that operates on a diesel fuel system, we recommend starting the engine at least twice a month. Ideally, you would do this once a week.

Q: How do you clean a diesel tank that has been sitting?

A: Remove fuel pump from tank (avoid letting residual debris fall into the tank). Insert hose into diesel tank and begin pouring a stream of clean, hot water. While water is filling, spray mild detergent in the tank. If opening allows, use a brush to loosen debris from the sides of the tank.

Q: Is it bad to overfill diesel tank?

A: It isn't safe to overfill your diesel tank. Petrol, in particular, can expand in volume when it is warm - and when the temperature rises during the day, this can be enough to push the fuel into the charcoal cannister's feed line or force a leak, which is a major safety issue.

Q: Is it good to fill full tank diesel?

A: Unburnt fuel will result in excessive hydrocarbon pollution. If a vehicle is filled at full capacity and parked on an inclining or declining surface may result in leakage, which can be hazardous as fuel is a highly inflammable substance.

Q: Should a diesel tank have pressure?

A: Tank venting allows air to move into and out of a diesel tank and equalise with the pressure outside the tank. If air cannot exit a diesel tank quickly enough as it is being filled, then pressure will build up inside the tank, potentially leading to tank damage, spills, and sprays.
