Farm fuel tanks and fuel trailers store and move diesel and gasoline on the farm, from bulk storage tanks with high-flow pumps and filters to fuel trailers and transfer tanks for refuelling in the field, plus DEF storage and handling systems. FarmPages lists the suppliers, dealers and manufacturers in this category, so you can compare equipment and contact them directly.Compare tank capacity against peak-season fuel use, single- or double-wall construction and containment, pump flow rate, filtration and metering, and whether trailers and tanks meet the rules for hauling fuel on public roads. Listed suppliers are in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Listings include Cobra Industries Ltd, which builds bulk fuel storage tanks, Bridgeview Fluid Solutions, which offers all-season DEF storage, and Uncle Wiener’s Wholesale.Related categories: Tracks, Tires, Lubricants & Additives · Track Systems · Tires & Wheels · Lubricants & Additives · Trucks & Trailers
Answers for farmers comparing fuel tanks & trailers suppliers and dealers on FarmPages.
Estimate daily fuel use at seeding and harvest, multiply by the number of days you want between deliveries, and add a margin so you are never running low in a busy week. Ask your fuel supplier about minimum delivery volumes and whether a larger tank lets you buy when prices are lower. Listed tank suppliers can match capacity, pump and filters to that plan.
Requirements for above-ground fuel storage, including secondary containment through a double-wall tank or a dike, vary by province, tank size and location. Check with your provincial fire code or environmental authority and your fuel supplier before buying. Double-wall tanks with proper venting and spill control are a common choice. Ask listed suppliers which standards their tanks are certified to.
Moving diesel or gasoline on public roads falls under Transport of Dangerous Goods rules, and some farm exemptions depend on quantity, container type and use. Provincial rules on trailer weight, brakes and licensing also apply. Check current Transport Canada guidance and your provincial rules, and ask fuel trailer suppliers whether their tanks are built to the required standard.
Diesel exhaust fluid freezes at about minus 11 degrees Celsius and breaks down faster in heat and direct sunlight, so store it out of the sun and use heated or insulated storage in winter. Keep dedicated, clean pumps and containers to avoid contamination. Some listed suppliers offer all-season DEF storage and handling systems that sit beside your fuel tanks.
