Ute fuel tanker

[Jazbota]

Hey gang thanks for the great feedback. Happy Gilmore, first post on a forum. It's a bit exciting. So I am an Australian farmer. Nice to see we have something you guys haven't seen lol. BHD I do have a picture in my mind. Your tip of plating the side is great I hadn't thought of that I often use the hay forks to do the lifting that's a great suggestion. Here is a link for some various tankers. Most blokes are using them in some size. Diesel Transfer Tanks I will post some pictures when I start the build

Welcome!
That is a nice looking fuel tank. 200l/52 US gal is a good size load. Many in the US don't know that a UTE is usually a small pickup, El Camino style. We would be interested to see pictures of yours.

It looks like the tank is made to be supported at the mold line. That may help it's longevity as it bounces in the back of your Ute. It also looks like the tank is made to direct any drips down the front. A removable capture tray would be an environmental and vehicle friendly feature.

Those are nice convenient looking tanks.

We use similar portable fuel tanks & contain them in a modified IBC 1000lt Water Tank Cage/Frames (gives the best of everything at around $70 base cost: a pallet to fork on/off, a lifting frame for slinging, ability to weld tool tray/box into the frame & if you cut down the 1000 PVC tank to c.12inches a bunded storage area to contain spillages)
