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.

What is a Fuel Trailer Used For?

A fuel trailer is a mobile refuelling unit designed to transport and dispense diesel, petrol, or other fuels directly to machinery, vehicles, or equipment on-site. Commonly used in agriculture, construction, civil works, and mining, fuel trailers eliminate the need to drive equipment to a central fueling location, improving operational efficiency.

Fuel trailers are available in a range of capacities—from small 200L units to heavy-duty 3,000L+ trailers—and may include electric pumps, reels, flow meters, and self-bunded tanks for added safety. In Australia, they are ideal for remote or off-grid environments where fuel access is limited.

How Do I Choose the Right Fuel Trailer?

Selecting the right fuel trailer depends on your operational needs, fuel type, and transport environment. Key factors to consider include:

  1. Fuel Capacity: Choose a size that supports your daily refuelling requirements without excessive downtime or frequent refills.
  2. Fuel Type: Ensure compatibility with diesel, petrol, AdBlue, or other fluids; some trailers are multi-compartment for dual-fuel use.
  3. Self-Bunded or Single-Wall: Self-bunded trailers offer double-walled protection to prevent spills and meet most safety regulations.
  4. Pump Type: Choose between 12V, 24V, 240V, or air-operated pumps depending on your power source availability.
  5. Mobility Requirements: Consider off-road vs. highway-rated trailers based on the terrain you’ll operate in.
  6. Compliance: Ensure the trailer meets Australian Dangerous Goods (ADG) Code requirements if transporting over certain thresholds.

Working with a reputable supplier helps ensure your trailer is fit-for-purpose and ADR-compliant for Australian roads.

Are There Legal Requirements for Transporting Fuel Trailers in Australia?

Yes, fuel trailers in Australia are subject to strict legal requirements under national and state legislation. Here are the key regulations to be aware of:

  1. Australian Dangerous Goods (ADG) Code: If transporting over 450L of Class 3 flammable liquid (like petrol), you must comply with ADG requirements for signage, placarding, licensing, and vehicle specification.
  2. Tank Certification: Trailers must have tanks that are approved for fuel transport, often built to meet AS 2809 or UN31A standards (for IBCs).
  3. Tow Vehicle Requirements: The towing vehicle must have adequate capacity (GVM/GCM) and braking system compatibility.
  4. Roadworthy & ADR Compliance: Fuel trailers must be ADR-compliant (Australian Design Rules) for registration, lighting, reflectors, and braking systems.
  5. Driver Licensing: Depending on volume and classification, drivers may need a Dangerous Goods (DG) licence to legally transport fuel.
  6. Spill and Safety Equipment: Legally required to carry fire extinguishers, spill kits, grounding equipment, and visible hazard labels.

Before purchasing or operating a fuel trailer, always check local regulations or consult the Aflo Team to ensure compliance with Work Health & Safety (WHS) and transport laws in Australia.
