Diesel Generators with Extended Fuel Tank

Diesel generators with extended fuel tank: solution for prolonged autonomous operation

The duration of continuous operation of a diesel power plant directly depends on the volume of its fuel tank. In standard configurations, a generator can operate up to 8 hours without refueling. This is sufficient for planned outages, however, in cases of emergencies or large-scale power system failures — this is often insufficient.

“DAREKS TRADING SOLUTIONS” company offers solutions for situations when true autonomy is needed. We supply diesel generators with extended fuel systems that allow operating significantly longer on a single refueling cycle.

Advantages of generators with extended tank:

• significantly prolonged operating time without refueling;
• less maintenance hassle during operation;
• stability in crisis or field conditions.

Tank materials:

• carbon steel — the most common option;
• stainless steel — for harsh environments;
• aluminum — lightweight and corrosion resistant;
• high-quality plastic — budget solution with good operational characteristics.

Tank calculation and manufacturing

Tank volume is selected individually — based on desired autonomous operation time and actual fuel consumption of the generator. We can:

• supply a ready-made model from manufacturer’s stock;
• manufacture a tank according to individual project by domestic manufacturer.

External fuel tanks: alternative to standard solution

If space for the generator is limited, external tanks are used. They can be placed in an adjacent room or even outdoors. In some cases — underground reservoirs are installed for convenience and safety. This is a practical solution for compact facilities where it’s impossible to place a generator with a large built-in tank.

Who most often uses such solutions:

• medical facilities that cannot remain without electricity;
• manufacturing with critical technological processes;
• infrastructure facilities (water utilities, pumping stations, etc.);
• telecommunication towers and communication nodes;
• government institutions and management bodies;
• shelters, bomb shelters, protective structures.

We’ll select the optimal option for specific conditions

Looking for a generator that operates as long as possible without refueling? Our specialists will help choose a model considering:

• required power (kW),
• desired autonomous operation time,
• usage conditions (facility type, installation space, etc.).
