UK Bunded Fuel Tanks

Generator Fuel Tanks

Keep Your Generators Running When Power Fails.

Purpose-built fuel tanks for backup power systems. Day tanks, bulk storage, and automatic filling systems. When the grid fails, your generators need reliable fuel supply.

Power outages don't schedule themselves conveniently. Your backup generators need immediate, reliable fuel access to protect critical operations. Our generator fuel tanks provide anything from 8-hour day tanks to 7-day bulk storage, with automatic systems that eliminate manual intervention.

Whether supporting data centres, hospitals, or manufacturing facilities, we design generator fuel tanks that integrate seamlessly with your power systems. Automatic filling, return lines, and monitoring ensure your generators start when needed and run as long as required.

Critical Features for Generator Support

Automatic Fuel Management

Float switches or electronic controls maintain day tank levels automatically. No manual filling, no risk of generators running dry during extended outages.

Multi-Day Runtime

Size tanks for your required autonomy – typically 24-72 hours for critical sites. Bulk tanks feed day tanks automatically for extended operation.

Quick Installation

Designed for retrofit to existing generator installations. Standard connections and flexible positioning options minimise installation time and cost.

Compliance Built-In

Meets building regulations, insurance requirements, and environmental standards. Proper generator fuel storage reduces liability and ensures readiness.

Remote Monitoring

Optional telemetry tracks fuel levels, consumption rates, and system status. Know your fuel situation before emergencies strike.

Frequently Asked Questions

Roughly 0.25L per kW per hour at full load. A 100kW generator uses about 25L/hour. We'll calculate exact requirements from your generator specifications.

Small tank mounted near the generator, typically holding 8-24 hours of fuel. Automatically refilled from bulk storage, eliminating manual handling.

Yes, the same regulations apply. All our generator fuel tanks are fully bunded to 110% capacity with leak detection.

Yes, we design systems to integrate with any generator setup. Supply pipework specifications and we'll ensure compatibility.

Stored diesel degrades over time. We offer fuel polishing systems that clean fuel automatically, ensuring generators start reliably.
