It’s great for topping up tractors, skid steers, utes and mid-sized gear on farms, job sites or out in the bush. It’s also a solid option for tradies or service crews working across different locations.

Yes, the DieselCadet™ tank is suitable for long-term diesel storage. To maintain fuel quality, ensure the tank is kept sealed, periodically check for signs of wear or degradation, and store it in a clean, sheltered location away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
The DieselCadet™ tank is purpose-built for storing diesel fuel. It should not be used for petrol or other flammable liquids, as it is not certified for those substances. Using it for non-compatible fuels may compromise safety and cause contamination or damage to the tank and pump components.
Inspect the tank regularly for signs of damage or leaks, and ensure it is installed and operated in accordance with local regulations. Maintain clear labelling and follow all relevant Australian Standards for the safe storage and handling of diesel fuel.
Recommended accessories include a diesel transfer pump for efficient refuelling, spill containment trays to minimise environmental risk, and proper hazard signage. Keeping a suitable fire extinguisher nearby is also advised as part of safe fuel handling practices.
Regularly inspect the tank for debris, water, or sediment build-up. If cleaning is required, use mild detergent and clean water, then rinse thoroughly and allow the tank to dry completely before refilling. Avoid abrasive materials that may scratch or damage the tank surface.
