Fuel tank

[Chae1]

Looking to replace our ageing fuel station.

Any recommendations or ones to avoid?

Any options worth taking? Some have higher output pumps.

Thinking about 10k litres.

Should we buy bigger/smaller? Current ones 5500l.

Any in stock anywhere at decent prices?

I have a couple of 6000l Tuffa tanks from the Farqhuarsons at Turriff. Any problems have been sorted quickly. One will be 15 the other is 4.

We got a second hand steel tank last summer at decent money from a guy in Fife I can't remember his name but he's a tank dealer

Titan from Turriff Fuels, had mine a long time now been faultless.

Fuel proof. Excellent quality, will last a life time but quite ££. We looked at others but glad we got a 10,000L one.

Have more than one tank
sumMee to winter then easier
can also clean one out every so often to avoid filter blockages

Hide it indoors it at all possible (obviously a lot harder if it is many thousands of litres)- avoids prying eyes. Less UV light also probably helps the lifespan of plastico ones.

And reduces evaporation and condensation build up

Hadn't thought of that. I guess with a smaller tank you would be emptying and cycling through it more regularly which probably helps with minimising the scunge build up or water content. Probably better still using HVO or GTL. The saving on fuel filters might even offset the cost of these. I do believe that fuel tanks want to be hidden from view somehow.

Ours were all fobbed... Fob on fob off and Enter the reg.. No reg no fuel.

Fob somewhere daft for fitters or vehicles passing when no-one there

10k tank 38k tank for white

Enter the mileage if it went backwards no fuel. You could set it for clock hours instead.. 0000 would override it to pump I.e breakdown filling drums to shoot off on a breakdown or knackered clock

Also linked to the computer so you could see exactly what was in it.. just remember to add the delivery's as they come.

Rip off Triggers on the hoses... save flooding the yard and demolishing it all If driven off.... I did 5 in 6 years 1st one wasn't rip off and 38k of white took the pump and the pipe work with it. Stop tap in 4ft of bunded water....

The others the trigger came away... They did one a month across 5 yards.

You'd still empty if determined but it would slow you down.

It'll cost more but potentially save more down the line

Must admit id probs buy a Steel one there just far far safer & shove much tider into a corner, inside a locked shed aswell out of sight out of mind.

7500L Balmoral plastic here, half the size of old steel 1 that used to be outside but it fits nicely in corner of shed, just need to fill it more often in summer
