When it comes to storing and transporting diesel fuel, you need equipment that’s tough, reliable, and built to handle Australia’s harsh conditions. Whether you’re working on a farm, at a construction site, or in the mining industry, having a high quality diesel tank ensures efficiency and safety. At Oxquip, we specialise in providing durable diesel fuel tanks designed to meet the needs of the civil and agricultural sectors across Australia.
From compliance with Australian Standards to features like customisable accessories and theft-resistant designs, our diesel tanks are built for businesses that demand the best. Here’s everything you need to know about choosing the right diesel tank and why Oxquip is the go-to supplier for portable and stationary diesel fuel storage.
Oxquip diesel tanks are made with extra thick, impact resistant polyethylene and advanced flex technology. This innovative design allows the tanks to adapt to vehicle movement during transit, reducing stress on the tank and ensuring a longer lifespan. Whether you’re transporting fuel across rough paddocks or storing it on-site, these tanks are engineered to perform under pressure.
All Oxquip diesel tanks are compliant with Australian Standards AS1940-2004 (The Storage and Handling of Flammable and Combustible Liquids) and AS2809.2-2008 (Road Tank Vehicles for Dangerous Goods). They’re also backed by a 15 year warranty, offering peace of mind and guaranteed performance.

Our diesel tanks come in a variety of sizes and configurations to suit every application, from small scale farming to large industrial operations.
1. Are poly diesel tanks weatherproof?
Yes, Oxquip diesel tanks are fully UV resistant and designed to handle Australian weather conditions. Components like pumps and hoses are also protected against the elements, ensuring long lasting performance.
2. How long can diesel be stored in a tank?
Under ideal conditions – cool temperatures and no water contamination – diesel fuel can be stored for 6 to 12 months. To extend storage life beyond a year, consider using fuel stabilisers.
3. How often should diesel tanks be cleaned?
To maintain fuel quality, it’s recommended to clean your diesel tank every 1 to 2 years. Regular cleaning prevents sediment build-up and reduces the risk of algae contamination.
4. Are poly diesel tanks at risk of algae growth?
Algae thrive in warm, moist environments with sunlight exposure. Oxquip’s tanks are thick and opaque, preventing sunlight from reaching the fuel and minimising the risk of algae contamination.
5. What kind of base is required for a poly diesel storage tank?
Your diesel tank should sit on a firm, flat, and stable base to avoid tank fatigue or failure. Additionally, a secondary containment bund may be required to prevent spills from contaminating the soil or nearby water sources.
6. Are there special rules for transporting diesel?
While diesel is not classified as a dangerous good for transport under the Australian Dangerous Goods Code (ADG7), it is considered dangerous for storage purposes. Always ensure your equipment complies with regulations when transporting diesel alongside other dangerous goods.
For small scale operations, a portable tank ranging from 100 to 500 litres might be sufficient. These are ideal for mounting on utes or trailers. For larger agricultural or industrial sites, stationary tanks up to 10,000 litres provide the storage needed for high volume fuel demands.
Your operations might require more than just a basic tank. Oxquip offers accessories like flow meters, fuel filters, and multiple pump configurations to ensure your tank meets your specific needs.
