How On-site Fuel Tanks Help with Jobsite Downtime

Instead of waiting for a third party to come through and fuel the equipment, contractors can place the on-site fuel tank wherever it is most convenient and adjust the placement of the tank or quantity inside as the demands of their site fluctuate.

On-site fuel tanks can save valuable time on the jobsite by putting the control back in the contractor’s hands. Instead of waiting for a third party to come through and fuel the equipment, contractors can place the on-site fuel tank wherever it is most convenient and adjust the placement of the tank or quantity inside as the demands of their site fluctuate. These benefits can be further enhanced when choosing fuel tanks with a modern, square-shaped design. With innovative features in cube-shaped tanks like integrated theft prevention, contractors can be confident in placing their on-site fuel tanks wherever they are needed.  

To ensure success on the jobsite, some on-site fuel tanks are designed to comply with approvals such as UL and DOT. These certifications mean the fuel tanks meet environmental regulations and have passed rigorous testing dictated by various approval bodies. However, the biggest benefit for the contractor is when the tank has certifications that allow it to be moved while filled with fuel, a feature that is unavailable in traditional round on-site fuel tanks.

This isn’t the only benefit that comes with cube-shaped on-site fuel tanks. While most contractors may think of on-site fuel solutions in relation to refueling construction equipment, some cube-shaped tanks can also quickly adapt to extend generator run time. The average generator has a run time of 24 hours, but pairing it with an on-site fuel tank increases the run time by up to seven days. While traditional round on-site fuel tanks refuel generators one at a time, some cube-shaped tanks can fuel up to three generators at once, which allows for quick response if unexpected problems come up and help contractors keep the job on track with a reliable power source.

As the demand for infrastructure projects continues to grow, finding solutions for efficiency on the jobsite is more important than ever. With the simple implementation of an on-site fuel tank, contractors can minimize downtime with fuel storage solutions that are ready for anything.
