Tank Solutions — Diesel / Fuel Tanks
Generator Diesel Tank
Day or base tank sized from generator load and required runtime.
Generator Diesel Tank
A day/base tank or remote bulk tank sized from the generator load and the required runtime, coordinated as part of the generator package rather than specified in isolation.
Supply and return, low-level alarm, overflow/return, vent, filtration, isolation and fire protection are all coordinated with the generator and the authority requirements for the site.

Where It’s Used
Frequently Asked Questions
How is a generator diesel tank sized?
From the generator's fuel consumption and the runtime you need to support — the tank is sized and coordinated as part of the generator package, not picked by capacity alone.
Is a day tank different from a bulk tank?
Yes — a day/base tank feeds the generator directly, while a remote bulk tank supplies it; many installations use both, coordinated together.
