Keeping tractors and machinery running requires constant access to fuel. You lose valuable hours travelling to a depot, and manual transfer methods waste even more time. Silvan supplies heavy-duty diesel storage solutions across Australia to get your property moving. We build units that handle harsh conditions without cracking or leaking. Browse our range of tanks and pumps to find the exact setup your agricultural operations demand.
Built for Heavy Agricultural Work
Polyethylene construction prevents rust from compromising your liquid supply. Metal tanks corrode over time, so we manufacture our farm diesel storage tanks using UV-stabilised Polytuff. A cracked tank dumps expensive fuel into the soil, creating a costly environmental hazard. We engineer our walls thick to prevent these stress fractures. Farmers deal with rough terrain that vibrates inferior welds apart; our moulded designs eliminate weak seams entirely. This material withstands intense sun exposure and resists impact damage in the back of a ute. We offer sizes ranging from compact 100-litre portable modules to massive static tanks holding thousands of litres. A larger capacity reduces refilling frequency; a smaller unit provides superior mobility for contractors moving between paddocks. Match the volume to your daily consumption to avoid unnecessary downtime.
Farm Fuel Storage Regulations and Compliance
Storing large quantities of combustible liquids demands strict attention to safety protocols. Failing to meet farm fuel storage regulations carries financial penalties and puts your property at risk. We don’t do vague. Our team hands over the exact engineering specs and paperwork needed for a legal install. You get the math on clearance distances and the specific technical data for your local council. Safe containment also requires proper venting, secure grounding to prevent static buildup, and reliable dispensing equipment. We fit our tanks with quality Italian pumps and auto-shutoff nozzles to prevent accidental spills during refuelling.
Managing Bulk Deliveries
Buying fuel in bulk reduces your overall operating costs significantly. Distributors require safe access and approved connections before they drop their loads. We build static storage points with standard camlock fittings to speed up the delivery process. Ground-level filling points eliminate the danger of climbing slippery ladders with heavy hoses. Setting up a dedicated refuelling zone keeps heavy transport trucks away from your primary working areas.
Complete Pumping Setups
A tank is useless without a reliable way to move the liquid into your machinery. You need an integrated system that functions flawlessly in dusty environments. Silvan delivers complete diesel storage solutions setups directly to your property. Every farm operates differently, so off-the-shelf packages do not always solve your specific problems. Our team provides detailed technical advice to configure a transfer unit that matches your precise flow rate requirements. Flow rates dictate how fast you can get a tractor back to work. A standard 40-litre-per-minute pump suits small utility vehicles, but filling a massive combine harvester requires flow rates exceeding 80 litres per minute. We match the pump capacity to your largest machinery to cut your wait times down. We supply the whole package:
- High-flow 12-volt pumps wired directly to your vehicle battery
- Long delivery hoses to reach awkward filler necks
- In-line filters to trap water and particulate matter
- Lockable covers to protect equipment from theft and weather
Proper filtration stops microscopic debris from destroying expensive common-rail diesel injectors. Having immediate access to clean diesel right in the paddock keeps your headers and tractors working during critical harvest windows. Silvan provides the exact components required to build a dependable refuelling station anywhere on your land.
