TPU Diesel Bladder Tank for Generator Fuel Storage
A TPU diesel bladder tank is a collapsible fuel store for generator fuel — a 5,000–50,000 L polyester TPU pillow tank that holds backup diesel for generators at remote sites, ready to supply fuel when the generator runs.

Fuel supply for the generator
Connect the tank to the generator's fuel supply
Connect the bladder's outlet to the generator's fuel supply, so the generator draws diesel from the tank as it runs. A valve controls the flow, and a vent valve lets air in as the fuel level drops. Size the tank to the generator's fuel use and the time between refills.

Siting and safety
Site the tank safely, with a bund
Sit the tank on level ground with a sand bed or ground sheet under it. No concrete base is needed. A bund or secondary containment is recommended, and local regulations for fuel storage should be checked. The polyester TPU bladder is for diesel and engine oil only — it is not suitable for gasoline.
Level ground
