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.

Can I transport a 1000L diesel tank on the road while full?

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.

Do these tanks come with a warranty?

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 up to 20 year warranty.

What are the benefits of a 1000 litre diesel tank?

A 1000 litre tank offers a perfect balance for small to medium-sized operations. It provides enough capacity to buy fuel in bulk, saving money compared to smaller containers, while maintaining a compact footprint that fits easily in yards or on construction sites.

Is a 1000 litre diesel tank required to be bunded?

For almost all commercial, industrial, and agricultural applications, a 1000 litre tank must be bunded to comply with oil storage regulations. A bunded tank features a secondary containment area that can hold 110% of the inner tank's contents, preventing environmental contamination.

Can I get a 1000 litre diesel tank with a 12V or 24V pump?

Yes, many of our 1000 litre models are available with 12V or 24V pump options, making them ideal for sites without a mains power connection where refueling is done via a vehicle battery.

Are these tanks suitable for HVO and Bio-Diesel?

Our 1000 litre diesel tanks are manufactured from high-grade polyethylene that is compatible with standard white and red diesel, as well as HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) and bio-diesel blends.

How do I ensure the fuel in my 1000 litre tank stays clean?

Most of our dispensing kits include a 10-micron water-separating filter. This is essential for protecting modern common-rail engines from water contamination and fine particulates that can accumulate during storage.

Can a 1000 litre diesel tank be moved while full?

Standard static 1000 litre tanks should never be moved while containing fuel as they are not designed for the dynamic loads of sloshing liquid. If you need to transport fuel, you should look for specific ADR-approved 'Transcube' or transportable models.

What security features do these tanks have?

Our 1000 litre tanks typically feature lockable cabinets or reinforced lids that enclose the pump, hose, and nozzle. This protects your fuel from theft and keeps the dispensing equipment shielded from the weather.

Do I need a special base for a 1000 litre tank?

A 1000 litre tank weighs over a tonne when full. It must be placed on a flat, level, and fire-resistant base (typically concrete or paving slabs) that extends at least 300mm beyond the edge of the tank on all sides.
