6 Reasons Why You Would Use a GO Self Bunded Tank with a Generator

 1.  Extended Runtime:  Packaging a GO Self Bunded Tank with a Generator significantly boosts a generator's runtime by providing much larger fuel capacity compared to the generator's built-in tank. This ensures uninterrupted power for longer durations, critical for applications like hospitals, data centres, and communication towers.


2.  Enhanced Safety: GO Self Bunded Tanks feature a double-walled design. The inner wall (primary tank) holds the fuel, while the outer wall (secondary tank) acts as a secondary containment in case of a leak from the inner tank. This double protection prevents fuel spills and environmental contamination, making it ideal for areas with strict environmental regulations or those near sensitive resources like water sources.

 

3.  Increased Convenience: A larger on-site fuel supply, provided by a GO Self Bunded Tank, reduces the need for frequent refuelling. This translates to significant time and effort saved, especially for applications requiring long-term generator operation.

 

4.  Fuel Security: Having a reserve fuel supply stored in the GO Self Bunded Tank provides peace of mind during possible disruptions in the fuel supply chain. This ensures your generator can keep running even during unexpected fuel shortages.

 

5. Simplified Refuelling: GO Self Bunded Tanks are supplied equipped with features that simplify refuelling, such as a dedicated fill port, dedicated dip point and optional level indicators or automatic tank gauging. This makes the refuelling process easier and less prone to errors.

 

6.  Fuel Cost Savings: While there is an initial investment in the purchase of a GO Self Bunded Tank, the ability to receive bulk fuel deliveries on site can lead to cost savings in the long run. Reduced refuelling frequency translates to lower labor costs, and the potential for bulk fuel purchases during off-peak times can lead to lower fuel prices.
