Not sure what you need?
Call +47 948 87 000 and describe the job. We will tell you which machine is right, and whether it is available when you need it.
What size tank do you need?
Work out what the machines use in total, and how often you want to fill the tank. A diesel generator such as the Atlas Copco QAS 40 uses an average of 8.8 litres per hour. A diesel heater such as the Master B150 CED uses around 4.4 litres per hour at full output, and the indirect Master BV77 around 2 litres. If several machines run around the clock, it soon adds up to several hundred litres a week.
If there is only one heater or a small generator on site, one of the plastic tanks with pump is enough. If a whole site is to run on diesel over time, the large tank is the safer choice. Then you don't have to drive off for fuel in the middle of the job.
Plastic tank with pump or steel generator tank?
The plastic tanks have a pump, so you fill machines, heaters and generators straight from the tank. They suit situations where the fuel is to be shared between several machines around the site.
The Quadro AG is a galvanised 1000-litre generator tank with quick coupling. It is made to stand next to a generator and supply it directly, so the generator can run much longer than its own tank allows. We have five of them. Tell us which generator the tank is to be connected to, and we'll check that the couplings fit.
Placement and refuelling
Place the tank on firm, level ground, away from ditches, streams and drains. It must not stand where an excavator or lorry reverses. If possible, put it somewhere easy to reach both for you and for whoever refills it.
Have absorbent or rags ready when refuelling, and never fill a machine while the engine is running. In winter, diesel can thicken in severe cold, so use winter diesel when cold weather is forecast.
Delivered with the rest of the site setup
The tank can be collected together with a generator and construction heating, or delivered with our own transport when we are taking the machines out anyway.
Questions and answers
Are the diesel tanks approved for transport?
Yes, the tanks are ADR-approved.
Can the tank be connected directly to the generator?
The 1000-litre Quadro AG tank has a quick coupling and is made to supply a generator directly. Tell us which generator you have, and we'll check that it fits.
Can I have the tank delivered together with the machines?
Yes. We deliver and collect the tank together with the machines, or you collect it yourself.
How long does a diesel heater run on 1000 litres?
It depends on the heater. The Master B150 CED uses around 4.4 litres per hour at full output, the Master BV77 around 2 litres. Divide 1000 litres by the consumption, and you have the number of running hours.
