Horizontal Fuel Tanks – Meridian Manufacturing

Fuel storage requirements vary from site to site, but reliability, compliance, and operational efficiency remain constant priorities. Meridian Horizontal Fuel Tanks provide secure fuel storage solutions for commercial, industrial, construction, and resource-based operations, with configurations ranging from compact fleet fueling systems to large-capacity storage installations designed to support critical equipment and vehicle fleets.

Meridian offers both heavy-duty Double Wall Fuel Tanks and Econo Double Wall Fuel Tanks to meet a wide range of storage and fueling requirements. Double Wall tanks provide integrated secondary containment and are available in capacities up to 100,000 litres, making them well suited for permanent fueling infrastructure and high-consumption operations. Econo Double Wall tanks offer the same containment advantages in a compact, cost-effective package for smaller fleets, remote sites, generators, and equipment fueling applications. Both product lines can be configured with pumps, metering systems, hose management, and other accessories to support efficient day-to-day fueling operations.

FAQ

Both provide integrated secondary containment, but they are typically used for different operational requirements. Double Wall Fuel Tanks are often selected for larger fuel storage volumes and permanent fueling infrastructure, while Econo Double Wall Fuel Tanks provide a compact and economical solution for smaller fueling applications.

Capacity planning should consider fuel consumption rates, delivery frequency, seasonal operating demands, equipment utilization, and business continuity objectives. Many organizations size storage to reduce delivery interruptions while maintaining flexibility as operations grow.

Yes. Meridian Horizontal Fuel Tanks are commonly used for diesel and gasoline storage and can be configured for a variety of approved liquid storage applications. They are also available in various split tank configurations allowing you to have one tank with separate internal diesel and gasoline compartments and individual pumps.

Yes. Many facilities begin with a specific storage requirement and expand capacity as equipment fleets, production demands, or site operations grow. Planning for future expansion early can simplify future upgrades and reduce project costs.

Horizontal fuel tanks are often selected when higher storage capacities, integrated fueling systems, and centralized fleet fueling are priorities. Their design allows for large-volume storage while providing convenient access to pumps, meters, hose management systems, and maintenance points. For many industrial facilities, fleet operations, and construction sites, horizontal tanks become the hub of a complete fueling system rather than simply a storage vessel.
