What are Mobile Fuel Tanks? and How they are Helpful

Everything is mobile these days—phones, TVs, DVD players, and… fuel tanks?

That’s right. If you work with fuel-guzzling machines like construction equipment, farm equipment, or airplanes, you no longer have to worry about making it back home before hitting empty on the instrument panel.

The advancement of steel-reinforced Fuel Trailers ideal for life on the road or away from civilization has made it easier to reach your machine’s maximum potential.

What is a Mobile Fuel Tank?

Just like the name implies, a mobile storage tank is like taking the gas pump with you wherever you go. They’re built on heavy-duty axles and frames, sit on two rugged wheels and attach to your pickup or SUV like any normal hitch trailer.

The tank is kept within a steel reinforced box to help protect the contents from ignition due to static electricity. Plus, a compact design enhances aerodynamic advantage, so you don’t have to drastically change the way you drive just to transport your fuel storage tanks.

How is a Mobile Fuel Tank Helpful?

When you’re out in the middle of nowhere, piloting your aircraft, riding your dirt bike or working a field in the remote part of your property, you can run out of gas before you know it. Instead of having to cut your time short in order to return to a refueling station, bring the refueling station with you. It saves time and effort, and will help you get the most out of your time on your machine.

In aviation or construction applications, having backup fuel in heavy-duty Aviation Fuel Storage Tanks saves manpower as well. Instead of moving vehicles around your site one at a time, bring the refueling trailer instead. It’ll make short work of a chore that normally takes all day.

Is a Mobile Fuel tank Cost-Effective?

You bet it is. Instead of buying gas at premium pumps, you can buy large amounts at one time, decrease the overall cost and help stretch your available funds even further. Plus, you won’t have to wait in lines at busy stations, saving you time that can translate into lots of man-hours—and lots of dollars—over the course of the year.

Fuel tanks last a long time, too, if you perform recommended maintenance like checking wheel balance and tank integrity. If you get enough work out of your mobile fuel tank, it’ll pay for itself in no time at all.
