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.
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.
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.
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.
Only if it is UN Approved and ADR Compliant. Standard static tanks cannot be transported while containing fuel. Look for our "Transportable" or "Fuel Cube" ranges for mobile requirements.
Our premium brands, including Cemo, Harlequin, Tuffa, and Atlantis, typically offer a 10-year warranty on the tank shell and a 1–2 year warranty on the pumping equipment. Our Steel tank range has upto 20 year warranty.
