Tank Capacity Can I get a discount on full truck loads of fuel ? What is a “full load” ? (7-10,000
gallons) What is your throughput (usage) ? How long does it take to get fuel
delivered ? 5% is lost in the top of the tank on
overfill prevention 5% is lost from the bottom as the
pump is set above the water and debris zone Is the fuel going to sit for more
than 6 months ? (Consider using additives) Codes can limit single tank capacity.
Variances must be sought for larger tanks. You can
split the tank into separate compart-ments for multiple products. Example: A
12,000 Gallon tank with 4,000 Galons Offroad Diesel and 8,000 Gallons Onroad
Diesel. A second
dispensing platform can provide multiple fueling positions. Two products can be
dispensed on one end with a dual product dispenser. Combinations can be suited
to need. A standard
tank is bare steel. A corrosion inhibiting internal lining can be installed.
This option is almost always selected on Jet Fuel. A good liner is expensive as
the tank is welded on the inside and the finish blasted to prepare for the
application of the coating. Internal corrosion is a problem if water bottoms
are not removed. A water sumping system is also available. We often do
custom pump systems for bottom loading trucks, transferring fuel to multiple
remote dispensers, etc. Please ask a sales engineer about anything special. We offer
several fuel management system solutions from unattended retail credit card to
fleet keys, pin numbers, buying clubs, etc. We will also pre-install a customer
supplied proprietary systems. ![]() |
