What is a self bunded fuel tank?

A self-bunded fuel tank (also known as a double-walled fuel tank) is a storage tank specifically designed to safely hold fuels, oils, or other hazardous liquids. The term "self-bunded" means it has a built-in secondary containment layer — essentially a tank within a tank.
Key Features:
    • Double wall structure: The inner tank holds the fuel, while the outer tank (bund) serves as a safety barrier to contain spills or leaks.
    • Environmental protection: If the inner tank fails, the outer shell prevents fuel from contaminating the surrounding area.
    • Compliance: These tanks often meet environmental and safety regulations for above-ground fuel storage.
    • Portability: Many self-bunded tanks are modular and can be transported to remote or temporary worksites.
    • Capacity: They come in a wide range of sizes — from a few hundred litres to tens of thousands of litres.
Common Uses:
    • Refuelling for construction or mining equipment
    • Fuel storage for farms or transport fleets
    • Diesel or petrol storage at remote locations
    • Emergency fuel reserves


Do fuel tanks need to be bunded?

Yes, fuel tanks often need to be bunded — especially in commercial, industrial, or environmentally sensitive settings — to comply with safety and environmental regulations.
When Is Bunding Required?
Legally Required If:
    • You’re storing large volumes of fuel (commonly >1,000 litres, but this varies by region)
    • The tank is located in areas where spills could harm the environment (near waterways, storm drains, or sensitive land)
    • Your local regulations (e.g., Australian Standards AS1940 or UK’s Environment Agency rules) mandate bunding
Common Situations That Require Bunds:
      • Fuel storage on construction and mining sites
      • Farms or transport depots storing diesel or petrol
      • Above-ground storage tanks at businesses
      • Anywhere fuel leakage could pose a fire, explosion, or pollution risk




Above Ground Diesel Tanks – Self-Bunded Solutions by Aflo Equipment

When it comes to bulk fuel storage, above ground diesel tanks offer the safest, most practical solution for industries like agriculture, construction, mining, and transport. At Aflo Equipment, we specialise in supplying Fueltainer self-bunded diesel tanks designed to meet Australian standards for fuel storage and handling. With built-in double walls, transportability, and multiple capacity options, they provide a reliable choice for businesses that need secure on-site fuel supply.

What Are the Different Types of Diesel Tanks?
There are several types of diesel tanks available, each suited to specific applications and regulatory requirements:

Self-Bunded Tanks: Double-walled construction with integrated secondary containment. Ideal for above-ground use and fully compliant with AS 1940. Aflo’s Fueltainer range falls into this category.


  • Single-Skinned Tanks: Require external bunding or containment, less common due to stricter regulations.
  • Portable Diesel Tanks: Smaller tanks for utes, trailers, or mobile refuelling.
  • Underground Diesel Tanks: Used for service stations or large-scale operations where space is limited.
  • Poly Diesel Tanks: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant polyethylene tanks, ideal for portability.
  • IBC Diesel Tanks (Transport-Approved): Certified Intermediate Bulk Containers for safe diesel transport under the ADG Code.


Aflo Fueltainer Self-Bunded Diesel Tanks
Aflo Equipment stocks Fueltainer self-bunded diesel tanks ranging from 30,000L up to 110,000L, providing large-scale fuel storage solutions for businesses that need reliable, above-ground supply.
These high-capacity tanks are designed to support:
    • Transport and Logistics Fleets – ideal for depots managing trucks, buses, and heavy vehicles.
    • Construction and Mining Operations – ensuring continuous on-site refuelling for machinery and equipment.
    • Agriculture and Farming – supporting seasonal demand and large machinery fleets across broadacre farms.
    • Industrial and Commercial Facilities – providing centralised bulk fuel storage for manufacturing or energy-intensive sites.
    • Remote and Regional Sites – offering dependable fuel supply where access to commercial service stations is limited.
Built with double-wall steel bunding, lockable pump bays, and engineered lifting points, Fueltainer tanks simplify compliance while delivering safe, efficient, and cost-effective diesel storage at scale.

Maintaining an Above Ground Diesel Tank
Proper tank maintenance protects your fuel quality and ensures compliance:
    • Routine Inspections: Check walls, bunds, fittings, and seals for leaks or corrosion.
    • Water & Sediment Removal: Drain condensation and diesel bug build-up regularly.
    • Filter Replacement: Service fuel filters in pumps and dispensers to prevent contamination.
    • Bund Integrity: Ensure the outer wall is intact and capable of containing spills.
    • Record Keeping: Maintain logs of inspections, maintenance, and repairs for audit purposes.

Compliance & Safety Regulations
In Australia, above-ground diesel tanks must comply with:
    • AS 1940 – Storage and Handling of Flammable and Combustible Liquids
    • Bund Requirements: Tanks must provide secondary containment of 110% capacity
    • Workplace Health & Safety (WHS): Training, spill kits, and emergency signage required
    • EPA & Local Council Regulations: Environmental safeguards for spill control and drainage protection
    • ADG Code (for transportable tanks): Ensures compliance for mobile or relocatable units
    • Aflo Equipment supplies tanks that meet all relevant regulations, giving you peace of mind that your installation is both safe and compliant.

Can self-bunded diesel tanks be relocated?
Yes, self-bunded diesel tanks are designed for relocation, making them an efficient and cost-effective choice for dynamic job sites. Their integrated double-wall design removes the need for external bunding, simplifying transport and setup.
Key considerations when relocating a tank:
    • Drain fuel if required: Some sites or transport companies may require partial or full emptying for safe transport.
    • Use designated lifting points: Most tanks feature engineered lifting lugs or forklift pockets to ensure safe handling.
    • Conduct reinspections post-move: After relocation, inspect for transport-related damage and verify the condition of pumps, fittings, and the bund.
    • Update site compliance: Ensure the new location meets all local environmental and safety requirements.
Self-bunded tanks are ideal for industries like construction, agriculture, and mining—where on-site fuel flexibility is crucial without compromising safety or compliance.
