Key takeaways
- Size the tank to your runtime so refuelling fits your schedule.
- Use proper fittings, vents, gauges and a protective finish.
- Inspect and leak-test tanks before commissioning.
- Clean, water-free diesel prevents many generator shutdowns.
A reliable generator needs a reliable fuel supply. Well-specified diesel tanks keep sites running while protecting people, equipment and the environment. Poor fuel storage is a safety hazard and a leading cause of avoidable shutdowns.
Choose the right tank for the job
- Size the tank to your runtime so refuelling fits the schedule.
- Use base/day tanks for the generator and bulk tanks for site storage.
- Fit proper vents, gauges, caps and level indication.
- Apply a protective primer/finish for Qatar's conditions.
Install and connect safely
Tanks should sit on stable, level bases with spill control. Fuel lines from tank to generator must be correctly routed, secured and leak-free. Bunding or secondary containment reduces environmental risk if a leak occurs.
Keep the diesel clean
Water and contamination in diesel cause filter blockages, injector problems and shutdowns. Inspect connections regularly, keep tanks sealed, and use water separators. Clean fuel is one of the biggest factors in avoiding unexpected stoppages — especially on long-running sites.
Plan refuelling before the tank runs low. A run-dry event introduces air into the system and can mean a frustrating restart.
Fabrication and supply
We supply and fabricate diesel storage tanks, day tanks and site fuel tanks in a range of capacities, with fittings, fuel-line connection, inspection and testing — built and finished for Qatar's conditions.
Frequently asked questions
Size it to your generator's fuel consumption and how often you can refuel. Tell us the generator size and your runtime and we'll recommend a day tank and/or bulk tank capacity.
Yes. We fabricate diesel tanks to required capacities with fittings, inspection, testing and primer finishing, and connect them to your generator.
