Investing in bulk AdBlue® storage can significantly reduce costs and ensure your fleet never runs out. But choosing the right tank size and type is critical. This guide helps you make an informed decision based on your operation's needs.
Bulk pricing can save 30-50% compared to buying bottles. Lower per-liter cost means significant annual savings for medium to large fleets.
No more running to suppliers for bottles. Scheduled bulk deliveries mean you're always stocked. Less handling, less waste.
Faster refueling with dedicated pumps and dispensing systems. Reduced downtime. Better fleet management.
Eliminate plastic bottle waste. One bulk tank replaces hundreds of bottles per year. More environmentally responsible.

Maximum capacity horizontal design
Step 1: Calculate monthly diesel consumption for your fleet
Step 2: Multiply by 0.04 (4% - average AdBlue® consumption)
Step 3: Add 20% buffer for safety margin
Step 4: Consider delivery frequency (monthly = 1x, bi-monthly = 2x)
Most locations require secondary containment (bunding) to capture spills. Bund capacity should be 110% of tank volume. Check local environmental regulations before installation.
Install in shaded areas to maintain optimal storage temperature (0-30°C). Consider insulated tanks or shade structures in hot climates. Avoid direct sunlight exposure.
Ensure delivery trucks can safely access your tank location. Typical delivery trucks need 4-5 meters clearance. Consider hose reach (usually 30-50 meters) from truck parking spot to tank.
Plan for pumps, meters, hoses, and nozzles. Electric pumps offer faster flow rates. Digital meters help track usage. Lockable systems prevent unauthorized access.
Tanks require level, stable foundations. Concrete pads are recommended. Professional installation ensures proper support and compliance with safety standards.
Fleet Size Under 20 Vehicles?
Consider 10L bottles or IBCs instead of bulk tanks
20-50 Vehicles?
5,000L Slimline tank is ideal - space-efficient and cost-effective
50+ Vehicles?
10,000L Round tank offers best value and fewer refills
Limited Space?
Slimline design uses less ground area - better for tight facilities
Growing Fleet?
Size up - easier to have extra capacity than upgrade later
