Diesel Bowser

[Longneck]

I’m in need of a new diesel bowser to tow behind the truck.

Only needs to be 1000lt max and no need for adblue at the moment but I guess it’s best to plan for it in the future.

Ideally twin axle with 12v electric pump, meter and auto shut off.

I like the idea of getting a fuel cube thing and putting in a old ifor trailer together with an old road compressor to make a handy unit for harvest time.
But not sure if this would work, anyone seen or done similar?

Alternatively, any suggestions of good bowser I can buy would be good. Thanks

Yes they look very good, do you know what sort of price they are?

The fuel cube wont be double lined other than that, leave the compressor so it can be left in the yard for the rest of the year.

The paintwork on the Greencrop bowsers is/was terrible.


The Bailey ones look smart

Actually they are double lined I’ve got a couple of 1000 litre Western fuel cubes here and they are bundled/double skin and meet the various transport regs.

They are what the genny hire market use, you see them on the backs of lorries here all the time - definitely 100% safe to use on the road without falling into ADR rules etc.

They look like this...handy to stack too

I would be surprised if you could buy any fuel tank that wasn’t bunded these days.. especially ones designed to go on building sites!!

@martian has a bowser and an air compressor on a trailer.

...or anywhere for that matter . Single skin “domestic” kero tanks seem to be the only exception.

1001 uses for an IBC...I like this one.

Some ‘proper’ timber siding to make it appear proper Swedish like and it might even get past the wife...

That what the road compressor is for! Just make sure you're facing the right way or you might get a nasty surprise enema
