Our Static Diesel Tank collection provides the foundation for efficient, on-site fuel management. Designed for permanent installation at yards, farms, and industrial depots, a static tank allows you to bypass retail forecourts and take control of your fuel supply. By establishing a dedicated refueling point, you minimize vehicle downtime, reduce administrative headaches, and significantly lower your fuel costs through bulk purchasing.
When storing large volumes of fuel in one place, environmental safety is paramount. The static tanks in our range are engineered to meet and exceed strict UK regulations:
Bunded Construction: Most models feature a secondary containment area (the bund) that can hold 110% of the inner tank's capacity. This is a vital fail-safe that catches leaks or overfills.
Pollution Prevention: By choosing a compliant bunded tank, you protect your business from the massive fines and clean-up costs associated with ground or watercourse contamination.
Fire Safety: All static tanks must be installed on a non-combustible base, typically reinforced concrete, to ensure stability and safety.
A static tank is essentially a private petrol station. To ensure it meets the demands of your operation, our tanks are available with various dispensing configurations:
High-Flow Pumps: Standard 230V pumps typically deliver between 50 and 70 litres per minute, making quick work of refueling even large HGVs.
Precision Metering: Integrated digital or mechanical flow meters allow you to track every drop of fuel, simplifying fuel duty reclaim and internal auditing.
Advanced Filtration: To protect modern, sensitive engines, our static tanks include water-separating filters that remove moisture and particulates before they reach your machinery.
At The Tank Shop, we know that fuel is one of your biggest expenses. We provide the tools to protect that investment:
Fuel Management Systems (FMS): Many of our static stations can be equipped with FMS technology. This restricts access to authorized drivers using PIN codes or fobs and provides detailed reports on fuel usage.
Remote Monitoring: Systems like the Watchman Sonic or telemetry units allow you to check fuel levels from your office, helping you time your bulk orders perfectly to avoid running dry.
Vandal-Resistant Housing: Dispensing equipment is housed within lockable, reinforced cabinets, ensuring your fuel is protected from theft and the equipment is shielded from the elements.
Whether you choose the 100% rust-proof durability of UV-stabilized Polyethylene or the extreme physical security of Reinforced Steel, our static tanks are sourced from the UK's leading manufacturers. Every unit is factory-tested and delivered ready for installation, providing a 20+ year asset that will serve your business for decades.
