MINING
A TPU diesel bladder tank is a collapsible fuel store for mining camps — a 5,000–50,000 L polyester TPU pillow tank that holds diesel and engine oil at remote mine sites, where a rigid fuel tank is too slow to install.
Recommended capacities
Three sizes suit mine camp fuel storage: mid-size tanks for camp supply, and larger bulk stores for a mine camp's diesel. All are the same polyester TPU bladder, in different sizes.

Setting up at a remote mine
A diesel bladder arrives folded, is laid on level ground prepared with a sand bed or ground sheet, and filled on site. No concrete base is needed. A second containment bund is recommended around the tank, and local regulations for fuel storage must be checked before the tank is sited.

Fuel for the camp
