Bespoke Fuel Tanks & Storage Solutions

Bespoke BS799-compliant fuel storage solutions for up to 50,000 litres. Manufactured to exact size, shape, capacity, and any other required specifications or regulations.

Whether you require a basic bulk fuel storage solution or a more complex fuel system as part of a wider project, your fuel tank will be fully integrated and maintained as part of the generator system.

All our bulk fuel tanks are double-skinned as standard, and come complete with filler, a hydrostatic contents gauge, high & low level alarms & a bund alarm with options for 'pipe in pipe' and duplex-pumped fuel feed and return systems as well as any additional fittings available to your specification. All our bespoke bulk fuel tanks are designed & manufactured to BS799 specifications as standard for the UK & Ireland, and can be tailored on request to meet any additional regulations. We have previously manufactured fuel tanks for the German market built to the current DIBt regulations, and also for the Swedish market built to MSBFS regulations.

The most salient feature of any fuel tank is its capacity; If it does not hold enough fuel, your backup generator may run out before mains power is restored. If you are using your generator as a back-up to the mains supply or to provide small amounts of power for short, discrete time periods you might not absolutely need a large fuel capacity. Selecting lower capacity tanks could mean a lower initial investment and potentially lower maintenance costs. However, you will require more frequent re-fuelling in smaller lots, which will increase the per-litre cost of the fuel and delivery by the vendor. Smaller tanks also limit your flexibility, in terms of your ability to run the generator for extended periods if it ever becomes necessary.

If you are using your generator as a primary power source for a large commercial or industrial establishment, or for almost any purpose where mains power is unreliable or unavailable, you will almost certainly need one or more large capacity fuel tanks. A larger tank allows you to buy fuel less frequently and in larger lots, reducing your ongoing running costs. However, it will cost more to purchase and install the larger tanks, and they will incur slightly more ongoing maintenance expenses. Storing a very large fuel supply may also impose certain safety risks.
