Bulk Fuel Tanks
Our self-bunded bulk fuel tanks can hold anywhere from 1,000 to 110,000 litres of fuel.

Fuel Trailers
Fuel trailers are designed to be easily transported. They can be towed on public roads or off road to reach remote locations. Our trailers carry diesel, and are used to refuel machinery and vehicles on-site, reducing downtime and improving efficiency. We also offer flexible fuel tank hire options for short-term and project-based requirements. Find out more about our on-site refuelling services.
Fuel Management System
Fuel tanks are often stored in remote locations and can be unmanned. To help you manage your tank and fuel distribution, all our tanks are fitted with the latest Fuel Management System. Our system enables real-time transfer of all site transactions and tank contents to a cloud-based website. This information can be accessed from any location.

Safety
Self-bunded tanks feature a double skin, meaning the inner and outer tanks are separate but housed within a single unit. This design provides an extra layer of protection against leaks, spills and potential environmental damage. Tanks include lockable fill points to prevent unauthorised access, overfill protection devices and tank gauges for live level monitoring.
Cost Effectiveness
Since self-bunded tanks are self-contained, they eliminate the need for costly secondary containment infrastructure. There is no need for concrete pads or bund walls, which significantly reduces your overall installation and compliance costs.
Durability
Self-bunded tanks are made from high-quality materials such as steel or stainless steel and are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Built for WA and VIC conditions, they are a reliable long-term storage solution for demanding sites.
Versatility
Self-bunded tanks come in a variety of sizes and shapes. From single diesel fuel tanks to full bulk fuel storage systems, we can supply and install tanks for a single operator right through to large mining companies.
Compliance
Self-bunded tanks are compliant with Australian Standard AS1940:2017, the Australian standard for the storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids. Our tanks are also compliant with AS1692 and relevant dangerous goods legislation.
Security
Our self-bunded fuel tanks are fitted with a Fuel Tank Management System. This allows you to monitor fuel consumption and transactions from any location. All the data is in real time, so you’ll have up-to-date information at your fingertips.

Self-bunded tanks are used across a wide range of industries throughout Western Australia and Victoria. Whatever industry or sector, WA Fuel can design a solution for your site.
Mining
Mining operations require reliable diesel fuel tanks that can handle high-volume consumption in remote and demanding environments. Our above-ground diesel fuel storage tanks are built to withstand the harsh conditions common to WA mine sites.Construction
Construction sites need ready access to fuel without the overhead of frequent deliveries. Our bulk fuel tank solutions give construction operators secure, compliant on-site storage with live monitoring built in. Flexible fuel tank hire options are also available for short-term projects.
Agriculture
Agricultural operations across WA and regional VIC depend on consistent diesel supply for seasonal work. Our self-bunded tanks provide a secure, compliant storage solution for farms and pastoral properties, with sizes scaling to match your seasonal fuel requirements.
Transport and Logistics
Fleet operators and logistics businesses need dependable above-ground diesel fuel storage tanks to reduce turnaround time and cut reliance on commercial bowsers. Our bulk fuel tanks and fuel management systems give transport businesses real-time visibility over stock levels and consumption.
FAQ
Self-bunded fuel tanks are among the safest fuel storage options available. The double-wall design prevents any leaks or spills from entering the outer skin, preventing ground contamination. Tanks also include lockable fill points to prevent unauthorised access, overfill protection devices to stop over-delivery and tank gauges for continuous live level monitoring.
Yes, in most cases. If you store more than 200 litres of fuel or hazardous substances on a site, self-bunded tanks are typically required under state dangerous goods regulations and Australian Standard AS1940:2017. Contact WA Fuel for site-specific advice on your obligations.
Cost varies based on tank size (1,000–110,000L), configuration, pump setup and installation complexity. No two sites are identical, so pricing depends on your specific requirements and location.
Self-bunded bulk fuel tanks are refuelled by road tankers, with fuel delivered directly to the tank’s fill point. WA Fuel coordinates scheduled bulk fuel deliveries to ensure your tanks are never run dry. Our Fuel Management System provides real-time level data so refuelling can be arranged proactively before supply runs low.
Yes. Self-bunded fuel tanks are legal across all Australian states when they comply with AS1940:2017 and AS1692.
Storage thresholds vary by state and land use type. As a general guide, quantities of diesel above 100,000 litres on commercial and industrial sites typically trigger formal dangerous goods permit requirements, and volumes above certain thresholds may require EPA notification or a dangerous goods licence. Thresholds differ between WA and VIC. Always confirm requirements with your state regulator or contact WA Fuel directly for compliant setup advice.
As a general industry guide under AS1940:2017, visual checks should occur monthly (covering bund integrity, fittings, gauges and vent condition) with formal maintenance inspections conducted annually. Water drain points and bund drains should be checked weekly, with results logged.
