The benefits of bulk fuel storage are numerous. Storing fuel onsite gives you the power to work without interruptions, extending run times and reducing costs. While your current fuel delivery schedule may be getting the job done, investing in a tank that can hold large volumes of fuel also comes with a range of benefits for your business.
At Western Global, we’re huge fans of bulk fuel storage, and our tanks keep you up and running for long periods of time. Whether you’re running generators or refueling on a construction site, onsite fuel storage provides many opportunities. Here’s why you should consider bulk fuel storage.
Bulk fuel storage means storing large amounts of fuel – often approximately 53 gallons or more – in tanks on a job site. This applies to both above and underground circumstances. For a more exact definition, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) describes a bulk storage container as a container that stores oil, whether that’s before or during use, or before being distributed to end users. When in use, these bulk fuel tanks are stored onsite for ultimate convenience.
Storing fuel onsite can enhance your project in many ways, no matter your sector or project. Keep reading to find out why.
If you run out of fuel completely or start running low this can slow down your operations and result in business downtime. So, what’s the solution? Well, bulk storage tanks allow you to hold large volumes of fuel on site which means you are less likely to run out and productivity can improve or remain at a high standard. Workers will no longer have to take trips off-site to refuel, they’ll be able to focus more on tasks and jobs on-site.
Buying in bulk is almost always cheaper and the same applies to fuel. On a busy site where you’re using machinery all day, refueling is going to be a constant task and this can quickly increase your outgoings if you’re having more fuel deliveries. However, with a bulk fuel storage tank, you can save money over time and ensure you have reliable and constant access to high-quality fuel.
Bulk fuel storage tanks are a great option for those seeking long-term solutions. A stationary, onsite bulk tank for fleet yards or remote locations ensures the fuel you need is easy to access. Long-term solutions like this can help your business stay consistent and expand in the future.
Storing fuel on-site ensures your business can monitor who uses the fuel and who has access so you don’t experience theft. In addition, you can add a range of bulk storage accessories such as fuel monitoring, purchasing, and management systems to your double-walled fuel tank to enhance security and prevent theft.

For sites where environmental regulations are a key factor, fuel storage tanks keep your fuel locked securely away, reducing any leaks or spills which may have an impact on the environment – and extra costs.
Bulk fuel storage can transform your processes and enhance your project. As we’ve listed above, storing large amounts of fuel onsite can save you money, improve efficiency and provide another layer of security for your fuel stock.
