Bulk Fuel Tanks (2,000 to 20,000 Gallons)
A bulk fuel tank from this collection holds 2,000 gallons or more and serves large fleets, farm operations, municipal yards and facilities with heavy fuel use. Options include UL-142 double wall skid, saddle and vertical tanks, a UL-2085 Fireguard saddle tank, a Flameshield tank and a single wall farm tank. If you are moving up from a 1,000 gallon tank, a 2000 gallon fuel tank is the first step in this range.
How to choose
- Built to order: most bulk tanks are made to order. Request a quote with a delivery date before you schedule the install.
- Permits and SPCC: any single tank in this range stores more than 1,320 gallons, so the EPA SPCC rule can apply. Local fire codes set setbacks and may require a fire-rated tank, so involve your fire marshal early.
- Delivery: large tanks need heavy lifting equipment on site, often a crane, plus clear truck access.
- Foundation: plan a pad or foundation for the full weight of a filled tank. For a fixed install, compare saddle tanks.
Common questions
How do I dispense from a bulk tank?
Most sites add a high-flow pump or a fuel dispenser with a meter.

Codes often require overfill prevention and a spill container at the fill. See fuel tank accessories.
