Fuel Storage Tank

The fuel storage tank is made of carbon steel sheets (and according to project orders, with galvanized sheets, which are more expensive); when selecting a diesel fuel storage tank, pay attention to the dimensions, capacity, and price of the fuel storage tank.

Expert Guide for Selecting and Pricing Diesel Fuel Storage Tanks

A fuel storage tank is a type of tank that can store a specific volume of liquid fossil fuels such as diesel or mazut and is used according to different applications.
Diesel fuel storage tanks are usually suitable for daily use, especially in construction sites outside cities. They can also be used as an alternative and emergency fuel during municipal gas outages in buildings, villas, towers, hotels, swimming pools, factories, hospitals, universities, etc., and have more diverse applications compared to other types of fuel storage tanks.
Below you can view and review the various DamaTajhiz diesel fuel storage tanks and select and purchase them with appropriate or fast delivery times.

 

Fuel Storage Tank Installation Location

The fuel storage tank can be installed in building basements or outdoors, either on a foundation, horizontally, and in a location away from other building spaces, in an enclosed area with sufficient air ventilation.

If installing a diesel or mazut fuel storage tank underground, pay attention to the following points:

• The distance between the tank and the basement walls and building facilities must not be less than 50 cm.
• The top of the fuel storage tank must be covered with at least 60 cm of soil, or 30 cm of soil and 10 cm of reinforced concrete.
• The diesel storage tank, depending on its capacity, dimensions, and internal fluid pressure, is made of black steel sheets with suitable thickness and should not use galvanized sheets.
• The surroundings of the tank should be covered with materials such as washed sand, soil, or gravel, well-compacted, with a minimum thickness of 15 cm.
• To protect underground tanks from corrosion, they should be treated with anti-rust twice and then fully coated with three layers of bitumen and two layers of fabric.
• (If the diesel tank is installed above ground inside the building, it can be installed enclosed or non-enclosed.)

If the storage tank is installed outdoors and non-enclosed, the following regulations must be applied during installation:

• The minimum distance between non-enclosed diesel storage tanks and the burner must be 2 meters.
• The non-enclosed fuel tank must be installed on a concrete foundation or other non-combustible building materials.
• The capacity of a non-enclosed diesel tank, or the combined capacity of two non-enclosed tanks feeding one flame, must not exceed 2500 liters.
• The diameter of the filling pipe depends on the tank capacity and the pipe length. For diesel tanks up to 1000 liters and a filling pipe 12 meters long, the minimum diameter is 1¼ inch.
• To connect the storage tank to open air and to release air during filling, a vent pipe is used. Its diameter must be at least 1 inch but in any case not less than the diameter of the diesel inlet and filling pipe. It should be directed to a suitable location outside the tank installation with minimal bends. (Usually, the vent pipe diameter of fuel storage tanks is considered at least 1-2 inches.)

Piping for Fuel Tank

1. The pipe that transfers diesel from the fuel tank to the boiler burner is called the supply pipe. This pipe must enter from the top of the tank, continuing inside it until 10 cm from the tank bottom.
   Note: If the storage tank is lower than the boiler burner location, the diesel supply pipe must have a 2% slope towards the storage tank.
2. The pipe that returns excess fuel to the diesel tank is called the return pipe. It also enters from the top of the tank and continues to 10 cm from the tank bottom.
3. The vent pipe of the diesel storage tank must be connected at the highest point and extend up to 2.5 cm inside the tank.
   The end of the vent pipe must be at least 60 cm away from any building opening.
   Note: The end of the vent pipe must be at least 50 cm higher than the diesel filling pipe end.
4. The diesel filling pipe must enter from the top of the tank and continue 10 cm above the tank bottom.
5. At the lowest point of each diesel tank, a manual drain valve of appropriate diameter must be installed to allow fuel drainage when needed or in emergencies.
6. Each fuel storage tank must be equipped with a manhole to allow access inside for maintenance, and for large-diameter tanks, a metal ladder should be placed under the manhole.

Important note: If your project requires mazut storage, it is essential to request the installation of an electric heating element near the mazut outlet pipe. This is especially critical in winter, as cold weather can thicken or solidify mazut, preventing its flow.

Purchasing Diesel Fuel Storage Tank

Note that when selecting and purchasing a water tank and diesel fuel storage tank, the tank volume and physical dimensions are highly important. To select and purchase a diesel fuel storage tank, you must first determine the required tank capacity.
At DamaTajhiz specialized collection, technical information of diesel fuel storage tanks with original warranty is provided to ensure you have a satisfying and optimal purchase experience.

Very important note: Before ordering and purchasing a diesel fuel storage tank, besides considering the required capacity, pay special attention to the dimensions of your custom tank to avoid issues such as not passing through the building entrance, boiler room door, or other obstacles at the installation site.

Note: If mazut fuel storage is required for your project, requesting and ordering the installation of an electric heating element near the mazut outlet pipe is mandatory, especially in winter when mazut may solidify due to cold weather.

Formula for Determining Diesel and Mazut Fuel Tank Capacity

Steps to calculate the fuel tank volume:

Calculate the burner fuel consumption flow rate: the formula is as follows:

m=Q_Burner/Q_Fuel

• :m fuel consumption flow rate in liters per hour (Lit/hr)
• :Q_Burner burner thermal capacity in kcal/hr (Kcal/hr)
• thermal capacity of fuel in kcal/hr per liter of fuel (Kcal/hr/Lit)

Calculate the fuel tank volume: After determining the burner fuel consumption, the tank volume can be calculated as follows:

V_Lit=m_Lit/hr×H×D

• :V_(Lit) fuel tank volume in liters
• :m_(Lit/h) fuel consumption per hour (calculated in the first step)
• :H number of burner operation hours per day (usually 16 hours per day)
• :D number of days for which fuel should be stored

Practical Example:

Assume the burner thermal capacity Q_(Burner) = 120,000 Kcal/hr and the diesel fuel thermal capacity Q_(Fuel) = 10,000 Kcal/hr/Lit.

1. First, calculate the fuel consumption rate:

m=120,000/10,000=12Lit/hr

2. Now, to calculate the fuel tank volume, if the burner operates 16 hours per day and fuel storage is required for 5 days.

V=12×16×5=960 Lit

In this example, the required fuel tank volume will be 960 liters.

These formulas help you determine the appropriate fuel tank capacity based on fuel consumption rate and storage duration.
