A road-legal fuel bowser is designed and specified for towing on public roads, subject to the correct legal requirements and towing vehicle. A site-tow bowser is intended for movement around private land, yards, farms or construction sites, where public-road towing is not required.

Yes. Fuel bowsers are commonly used for site refuelling of plant, machinery, generators and vehicles. They help reduce downtime by bringing diesel directly to the equipment rather than moving machines back to a fixed tank or depot.

Diesel bowsers are widely used by farmers, construction companies, groundworks teams, haulage operators, civil engineering firms and industrial sites. They are especially useful where machinery is spread across large sites, fields, depots or remote working areas.

The right size depends on how much diesel you use, how often you refuel, where the bowser will be used and whether it needs to be road-legal or site-tow only. If you are unsure, UK Bunded Fuel Tanks can advise on suitable capacities, pump options and specifications for your application.
