For Commercial & Industrial Hire
About Our Fuel Tank Hire Solution
When it comes to keeping your commercial and industrial operations running smoothly, having secure and compliant bulk diesel storage is key. Aircon Rentals offers a fleet of self-bunded fuel tanks for hire, designed to ensure you have a steady supply of diesel while cutting down on the need for frequent onsite refuelling.
Our tanks come in various sizes—2,000L, 3,000L, 5,000L, and 10,000L—making them perfect for a wide array of diesel-powered equipment, temporary setups, and mechanical plants. Each unit meets the AS 1940 standards for the Storage and Handling of Flammable and Combustible Liquids, ensuring your site adheres to strict environmental and safety regulations.
Whether you’re supporting temporary infrastructure, HVAC systems, industrial machinery, or remote operations, our tanks are built to keep your site running safely and efficiently.
Why Choose Aircon Rentals for Fuel Tank Hire?
AS 1940 Compliant (110% Self-Bunded Containment)
Every tank is designed with a double-walled, 110% self-bunded structure that contains any spills within the outer wall. This eliminates the need for external bunds or concrete trays, ensuring immediate environmental compliance.
Transportable While Full
Our tanks are equipped with internal baffles that reduce liquid movement, allowing them to be safely:
- lifted
- craned
- relocated even when full
Note: This applies to 2,000L, 3,000L, and 5,000L tanks only — not the 10,000L unit.
Perfect for dynamic construction sites, roadworks, and remote operations.
Secure, Vandal-Resistant Construction
With fuel theft and tampering being a risk on open sites, our tanks are built to withstand the challenge. They feature:
- lockable steel hatches
- protected fill points and valves
- heavy-duty steel construction
Designed for unmanned sites and high-risk environments.
Cuts Down on Refuelling Frequency
Having bulk fuel storage means your equipment can run longer without interruption, which helps sites minimise:
- Extended run time on generators
- Long run time on diesel boilers
- fuel truck visits
- manual refuelling tasks
- onsite traffic and logistics costs
- interruptions during weekends or holidays
