a new era in diesel tanks
Vanguard™: low cost-per-litre storage
Vanguard™ diesel tanks are specifically designed to provide tough, reliable and low-cost-per-litre diesel storage. Vanguard™ is available in the traditional cylindrical shape, or in the new iTank™ rectangular construction (shown at right) for space saving efficiencies.
Both the Vanguard™ cylindrical and the Vanguard iTank™ are double-skin steel diesel tanks and provide 100% secondary containment without the need for further bunding.
For diesel storage indoors, we recommend the Supervault™ self-bunded and 4hr fire-rated tank.
Although primarily designed for diesel, the Vanguard™ can also be used for light fuel oil and lubricants and other fuels in some circumstances. It is the ideal diesel storage tank for truck stops, transport yards, mining sites, and industrial sites.
New iTank Features
- Convex top, sides and ends do not allow water and debris to collect anywhere on the tank
- Built to standard ISO container sizing - simple to ship and transport both internationally and domestically (top ISO mounts optional)
- Full length pedestals with installation points make installation simple and eliminate rubbish and debris collection under the tank.
- Various turnkey systems available with pumping, payment and filling options of customer choice. Full fit out in the factory allows for quick installation and instant operation in the field.
- Protected with high quality International Paints™ coating system - keeps the tank looking great for many years
- Interstitial monitoring capability allows for immediate detection of leaks
- Cost effective - more volume stored with minimum footprint.

Safety Testing of diesel tanks
All Vanguard™ diesel tanks are shop fabricated under strict quality controls and each unit is pressure tested at the factory to ensure proper performance in the field.
All penetrations through the top of the tank are in compliance with industry code of practice.
The Vanguard™ meets international standards for diesel storage.
True Secondary Containment
Secondary containment is as important as primary containment and the Vanguard™ is engineered and constructed for maximum protection.
No bunding is required for the Vanguard™, avoiding costly on-site construction and maintenance necessary for an externally bunded tank.
Five-Year Warranty
A five-year warranty is offered, providing the tank is installed and maintained in accordance with the industry standards, including de-watering of the primary tank.Styles & Sizes
