Diesel Fuel Tanks on Generators

Types of Generator Fuel Storage Tanks

The Diesel fuel tank is the storage for the generator to run. It could be a based mounted fuel tank or it can be a separate above ground or underground storage tank.

Diesel Generators fuel systems must supply the diesel engine with a continuous and clean supply of fuel. Large storage tanks are required when the generator is used to support large commercial establishments or where power outages are frequent and last for long periods of time.

Bulk fuel is usually stored in a large tank, and the fuel transferred to a smaller, day tank near the engine, by means of an electric motor-driven pump.

The capacity of a bulk storage tank depends on a number of factors that include the nature of business operations, consumption rate, running hours required and the availability of fuel. The amount of product that will be stored is dependent on the expected length of a power outage which in many cases is difficult to predict.

Client Testimonials

Join the happy customers of Duthie Power and see why they love us so much!

I would like to thank you and the rest of the team for an excellent job performed on the subject pump station. Thanks to your timely help from your organization and the installation of equipment, we were able to lower the profile of our generator and reduce the amount of soot that we were emitting prior to the new installation. As a result, we have reduced the visual impacts from the existing generator, enabling us to maintain better relations with our neighbors. I would recommend the services of Duthie Power Services any time. Not only were you on time with the delivery of equipment, you and your team worked quickly and efficiently to get the job completed on time. Your technicians worked diligently and professionally. If a problem arose, they were quick to get it resolved with little or no delay. Our management team is very pleased with the final outcome of this project. I am very confident in recommending Duthie Power Services for any power generation project. You are truly problem solvers.

Jesse Ramos is overall a great representation of your company. He came to the appointments early, he was patient in explaining a few questions without making me feel dumb and he was clean/efficient. Thanks!
Priscilla NaimanCommunity Manager
The online portal was extremely easy to use and hassle free...I really liked that I could fill out the information online instead of filing it out, printing and resending it back to you. It eliminates an extra step. I liked how it listed all of our generator accounts so it was easy to select which customer needed maintenance. I also like how you send the email reminded so I do not need to keep track of the generator PMs, you guys do.

Jose GutierrezProperty Manager
I have always used Duthie at every building I go to, the service tech's are very knowledgeable and have got me out of several jams throughout the years.
Shawn KeethBuilding Engineer
Generators are a very important part to the safety of buildings like ours. When the power goes out, we as maintenance, are at ease knowing that the garage gate and all of our emergency lighting are working for our residents. To have that ease of mind... your generator needs to perform at its best and that can only happen with exceptional service. Duthie makes it a point to contact us when our PM is coming up due instead of us contacting them. That just shows how Duthie cares about the performance of our generator. Thank you to the service department and the techs that come to the property.
Dean LauffProperty Manager
As a Chief Engineer in a number of buildings, I have brought Duthie into all of them for our emergency power services. From sales to scheduling to their service techs, I get the same great service and for the quality of service you get the pricing can't be beat.

Jim CoteDirector of Engineering
I’d like to tell you that the Steve and Chris were awesome in their install of the new Metron Panel on our fire pump, we hit a snag on the first day of work but they powered through it and made it so that I would be up and running by the end of the day as promised by you. They never got bent out of shape and maintained their level of professionalism from start to finish. I just wanted to let you know I personally appreciated that. Thank you and the crew for a job well done.
Michael RuelasOperating Engineer
Gentleman: I want to thank you for a job well done on the 800kw Generator you cleaned and serviced for us up in Orange, CA. Please credit Tim for an outstanding job. What made the job go well from our point of view is that I was able to communicate with Tim before he went up there (for the service and clean) and then right after when Tim was done he called me and gave me the lowdown on how it went and the condition of the unit. That timely information was invaluable to me and it made my job markedly easier. I look forward to working with Duthie Power in the future on any projects I have in Orange or LA Counties. I am also passing your information on to the rest of the PM’s here in our Spokane office and our Salt Lake location. You are also in our system as a preferred provider of generator service. Again, thank you
Phil ThompsonProject Manager
Over the years I have come to find that this superior service is not unusual. In fact it is standard procedure for Duthie Power. I understand that this high standard is not easy to maintain and want to let you know I appreciate it very much.
