Transportable Fuel Tank

Transcube

Transcube's line of transportable fuel tanks are DOT approved for road transportation and UL 142 certified for safe diesel fuel storage. The double-walled tanks provide 110-percent secondary containment of the inner container's total capacity to eliminate the risk of spills and contamination. Internally baffled to prevent the surge of fuel during transport, Transcube tanks have DOT approval for transportation of diesel fuel, unlike traditional fuel tanks that are not designed for traveling on the road. This gives the units the versatility to be deployed to remote locations while full of fuel as well as the ability to be removed from a site with fuel still inside.
