Fuel Tank FAQs: Everything you need to know about our tanks 

With over 60 years of experience, we’ve learned a thing or two about what businesses need when it comes to refuelling. But we get it – choosing the right fuel tank for your operations is a big decision, and you probably have questions. That’s why we’ve rounded up answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about our tanks and services.

What You’ve Been Asking About

From disaster recovery to commercial distribution, Western Global tanks are built to meet a wide range of needs. With their rugged, go-anywhere design, they’re made to perform in the toughest conditions. But we know that’s just the beginning- your business has unique requirements. Below, we’ve answered your top questions to show how our tanks can work for you.

How can I scale my fuel capacity?

Choosing a tank can be difficult. Fuel needs can change as projects grow, and predicting fuel consumption isn’t always easy. In the early stages, you might not even have the space for a large tank on a worksite. 

That’s where our modular tanks come in. They’re designed to work together, creating a scalable refuelling solution. Whether you need a high-volume fuel farm or an ecosystem of refueller tanks to refill equipment in the harshest environments, our tanks adapt to your needs. The modular capability of all of our tanks means projects can scale flexibly, so you won’t be left with obsolete equipment that you need to store onsite as your fuel requirements grow.

Is my tank covered if something goes wrong?

Investing in a fuel tank is a big investment. You’ll want to know that you’re covered if something goes wrong. 

That’s why we back our tanks with our Built to Last warranty.

• Steel tanks: Covered for 8 years.
• Other products: Covered for 1 year.

So, in the unlikely event that something is wrong with your tank, we’ll provide a repair or replacement to ensure you’re up and running again as soon as possible.

My customers operate at short notice in extreme environments. Can Western Global tanks handle this?

Short answer: Yes.

Our tanks are built for extreme environments. We’ve pushed them to their limits in our Extreme Test Series, ensuring they meet the highest industry standard and comply with a range of certifications and approvals. 

And when time is critical, like in disaster relief situations, we’ve got you covered. We have tanks in stock and ready to ship at a moment’s notice, anywhere in the world.

Do you offer both transportable and stationary tanks?

Absolutely. Different businesses have different needs, and we’ve got a tank for every situation. For example, construction companies may need transportable tanks for limited access sites, while distributors or courier companies may require stationary fuel tanks with a larger capacity to refuel their fleet.

How can I keep my fuel supply safe?

Fuel theft is a growing problem, especially in industries like construction. In fact, a 2024 survey by BauWatch found that fuel is one of the top 5 most stolen assets.

We know how much fuel theft can affect the bottom line; we’ve designed our tanks to make fuel theft nearly impossible. 

• Double-walled design: Two layers of protection make it tough for thieves to pierce the walls of the tank to access fuel. 
• Lockable cabinets: Secure all ports, fittings, and pumping gear.
• Monitoring equipment: From mechanical gauges that allow you to see your fuel levels at a glance,  to advanced sensors that send email alerts, our tools help you track fuel levels, detect theft, and optimise usage.

With these features, you can protect your bottom line and keep your operations running smoothly.
