Spill pans produce a lot of extra work throughout the day, but this is often thought to be part of the job. What if we told you there\u2019s a better way of managing spills and drips?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Time is money, so any way of improving efficiency across your site should be a priority. Get rid of your spill pans and go double-walled instead, and watch productivity on your site skyrocket. We\u2019ll explain why below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is a spill pan?<\/span><\/h2>\n

A spill pan – also known as a drip tray, pan or containment tray – catches any drips or leaks from a fuel tank. Their purpose is to prevent spills on site, reducing risk of injury and protecting your business from hefty fines. You also save on fuel in the long run, as spill pans ensure that not a single drop goes to waste.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The challenges that come with using fuel tank spill pans<\/span><\/h2>\n

Managing fuel tanks can sometimes be a juggling act, and spill pans can toss a few extra wrenches into the mix. Let’s dive into the common hassles of using fuel tank spill pans and see why they might not always be the best solution.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maintenance mayhem<\/span><\/h3>\n

Spill pans need regular TLC to stay effective. Think of it like having a high-maintenance pet that needs constant attention. Inspections, cleaning, and ensuring everything is in tip-top shape can be a real time-sink. If you’re already busy, this extra task can quickly lead to increased downtime on your jobsite.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fuel maintenance should be a quick and easy job – not one as intensive as looking after your spill pans. We\u2019ve carried this ethos through every design stage of our tanks, ensuring that they\u2019re not a burden and drain precious time and money. <\/span>Learn more in our tank maintenance guide<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rain, rain, go away<\/span><\/h3>\n

Spill pans and berms can turn into mini swimming pools when it rains. And have you heard? They\u2019re also often found with dead birds in them! Managing and disposing of the collected rainwater and other debris can be a hassle, adding to your maintenance burden. This requires added work and extra diligence every time the weather decides to be uncooperative. <\/span>Read our guide for tips on keeping your tank in top condition throughout all seasons.<\/span><\/i><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hidden costs<\/span><\/h3>\n

Installing and maintaining spill pans isn’t cheap. It’s like buying another tool that needs constant upgrades. You’re already investing in fuel and delivery – adding (and maintaining) spill pans is just another recurring line item on your bill.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, if you\u2019re working on a month-long project and it rains six times during that month, with an average cost of $150 to clean the secondary containment pan, cleaning costs could amount to $900 or more over the course of the project. Didn’t see that one coming!<\/span><\/p>\n

Space invaders<\/span><\/h3>\n

Spill pans can be space hogs. They take up valuable real estate around your fuel tanks, making it harder to access for maintenance and refueling. It’s like trying to navigate a crowded garage, where the tool you need is hidden behind stacks and stacks of random parts and equipment\u2013 not exactly fun or efficient. Not to mention when your job is moving, it’s one more thing to have to pack up, keep track of and transport.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regulatory rollercoaster<\/span><\/h3>\n

Keeping up with regulations can be a wild ride. Ensuring your spill pans meet all the necessary requirements can be tricky, especially since regulations can vary by location.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make things easier for yourself by choosing a fuel tank with built-in secondary containment. With Western Global, you can feel confident that your <\/span>fuel storage complies with local regulations<\/span><\/a>, meaning you can confidently get to work.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"simple_image","image":{"ID":32263,"id":32263,"title":"FuelCube+Construction+Fleet+Fueling+3-Western+Global+NA","filename":"FuelCubeConstructionFleetFueling3-WesternGlobalNA-scaled.jpg","filesize":609184,"url":"https:\/\/western-global.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/FuelCubeConstructionFleetFueling3-WesternGlobalNA-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/western-global.com\/us\/support\/insights\/spill-pans-vs-double-walled-fuel-tanks-spill-containment\/fuelcubeconstructionfleetfueling3-westernglobalna\/","alt":"A

No pan, no problem<\/span><\/h2>\n

While spill pans are great for preventing environmental contamination, they come with their fair share of hassles. From maintenance and cost to space and regulatory challenges, there is a long list of responsibilities that come with having a spill pan onsite. If you have effective containment systems<\/a> in place, you may be able to skip the spill pans and keep things running smoothly.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Western Global, we recognize this is a pain point, which is why we manufacture our cube-shaped fuel tanks to come standard with built-in double-walled weatherproof containment. Your refueling equipment is installed and stored within our lockable equipment cabinet, so no need to worry about needing a spill pan since everything is self-contained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All of <\/span>our fuel tanks<\/span><\/a> are double walled. This means that mopping up a leak or cleaning your spill pan will never be on your to-do list.
