FAQs
What kind of jobs is the 500L diesel tank best suited for?
The 500 litre diesel tank is a great fit for jobs that need dependable fuel access without hauling around a huge setup. It’s often used to top up tractors, loaders, earthmovers and utes, whether you’re working on farms, construction sites or rotating between locations. It’s also a handy backup for peak periods or remote runs.
Can I mount the 500L diesel tank on a vehicle or trailer?
Yes, the 500L diesel tank has a flat, stable base that’s easy to secure on utes, trailers or skids. Just make sure it’s properly secured during transport. If you’re unsure whether your current setup is suitable, just give our team a call, we’re happy to walk you through the best way to get it securely mounted.
Is it safe to leave the tank outdoors long-term?
It is. The tank is moulded from UV-stabilised, diesel-grade polyethylene, which is built to handle tough Australian conditions — sun, wind, dust and all. Whether you’re working in the paddock or on an open job site, it’s designed to last out in the elements.
Can I use the 500L diesel tank for petrol?
No. This 500L diesel tank is specifically designed for diesel only. Using it with petrol or any other fuel could cause safety issues and damage the pump or components. If you need a different solution, just reach out and we’ll help find the right fit.
How do I keep my 500 litre diesel tank in good condition?
It’s a low-maintenance unit. Here’s what to keep an eye on:
- Try to keep the tank full when possible, this helps minimise condensation and the risk of water contamination
- Check the pump, hose, nozzle and power connections every so often, especially if you’re moving the tank between setups
- If it’s going to sit idle for a while, store it in a shaded spot to help maintain fuel quality
What are the best practices for maintaining the 500L DieselCadet™ tank?
Inspect the seals and fittings for wear. Keep the exterior clean and free from debris. Check the breather system for blockages. Store the tank in a shaded area to limit heat exposure and support fuel stability.
Can I use this tank for storing other liquids aside from diesel?
No. The tank is engineered for diesel only. Other liquids may react with the materials and compromise safety.
What is the recommended method for filling the tank to prevent spills?
Use the no-spill system with the pad-lockable filler cap. Clear the area around the tank. Fill slowly to monitor the flow. Stop before reaching full capacity to prevent overflow.
Can the DieselCadet™ tank be used in extreme weather conditions?
Yes. The tank is built for tough Australian conditions. Monitor diesel quality during extreme heat or cold, as temperature changes can affect viscosity.
What accessories are available for the 500L DieselCadet™ tank?
Compatible upgrades are available. Check the product page for approved accessories that align with diesel storage requirements.
