CAT CLASS: HQ-10903

2,000+ gal Fuel Tank

The 2,000+ gallon fuel tank band represents the largest portable fuel storage class in the equipment fleet, designed for bulk diesel delivery and long-duration power needs. This size sits at the top of the fuel tank ladder, supplying energy-intensive projects that consume hundreds of gallons per day. Tanks in this band serve as on-site bulk fuel depots, often supporting multiple generators or equipment fleets simultaneously.

Spécifications clés

Spécification	Plage typique	Signification
Capacity	2,000+ gal	Volume for multi-week generator runtime or fleet refueling without resupply
Load capacity	5,002–8,157 lb (2,269–3,700 kg)	Structural rating for fuel weight plus containment system when full
Max height	8.2–22.3 ft (2.5–6.8 m)	Installed height varies by tank orientation and containment basin design

Comment choisir

This band is appropriate for large construction sites, remote mining or drilling operations, and events requiring continuous generator power over weeks or months. Projects burning more than 200 gallons of diesel per day, or locations where bulk delivery is more economical than frequent small fills, justify this capacity. When daily consumption stays below 100 gallons and resupply access is reliable, the 1,000-2,000 gal Fuel Tank band offers easier placement and lower delivery costs. No larger portable size class exists; projects needing more than 3,700 gallons typically deploy multiple tanks or transition to permanent aboveground storage.

Ce que cette taille peut gérer

Data center or hospital backup generator fuel supply for extended outage scenarios
Remote bridge construction with limited road access and infrequent fuel deliveries
Multi-acre music festival or fairground powering stages, lighting, and vendor services
Mining exploration camp fueling drilling rigs and auxiliary equipment for seasonal work
Disaster relief base camp supporting emergency generators and vehicle fleet refueling
Offshore platform staging yard storing diesel for marine transfer operations

Sécurité et opération

Double-wall construction and integral containment basins meet EPA Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) regulations for installations near waterways
Grounding and bonding connections required during fill and dispensing to prevent static ignition of fuel vapors
Placement on level, compacted surfaces prevents tipping and ensures containment basin integrity under full load
Fire code setbacks from structures, property lines, and ignition sources vary by jurisdiction and tank capacity; consult local authority having jurisdiction

Transport et logistique

Transported on flatbed or lowboy trailers; larger units require commercial trucking and highway permits
Load capacity of 2,269–3,700 kg when full demands heavy-duty trailer ratings and often tandem axles
Height up to 22.3 ft in vertical configurations may require route surveys for overhead clearance on public roads

Alimentation

Self-contained gravity or electric pumping systems; electric pumps typically draw 120V or 240V at site
Dispensing rate governed by pump selection, commonly 15–30 GPM for generator refueling or fleet service
Tanks supply diesel fuel to stationary generators, mobile equipment, or secondary day tanks via hose or hard-piped connections

Questions fréquentes

How long will a 2,500-gallon tank power a typical site generator?

Runtime depends on generator load and fuel consumption rate. A 200 kW generator at 75% load typically burns 12–15 gallons per hour, yielding approximately 165–210 hours (7–9 days) of continuous operation from a full 2,500-gallon tank.

What delivery method do bulk fuel suppliers use for tanks this size?

Commercial fuel distributors pump from tanker trucks directly into the tank's fill port. Larger tanks in this band may require multiple truckloads or a dedicated bulk delivery schedule to fill completely.

Do tanks over 2,000 gallons require special permitting on construction sites?

Many jurisdictions require SPCC plans, fire marshal approval, or environmental permits for aboveground fuel storage exceeding specific thresholds (commonly 1,320 gallons aggregate). Site-specific regulations govern placement, secondary containment, and inspection intervals.
