Introduction to the Diesel Generator Daily Fuel Tank
Ensure uninterrupted power generation and protect your critical investment with a high-capacity, custom-fabricated stainless steel day tank. Our separate daily fuel tanks are designed to provide a reliable, clean fuel source for your diesel generator, isolating it from main storage to enhance efficiency and prevent contamination. Available in standard sizes like 500L, 1000L, 2000L, 3000L, and 5000L, or completely customized to your project's specifications, our tanks are the premier choice for data centers, hospitals, industrial plants, and remote operations requiring dependable backup power solutions. Engineered for durability and longevity, they are the essential link between your fuel supply and your power needs.
Primary Fuel Source: It acts as the direct source of fuel for the diesel engine. The engine's fuel transfer pump draws diesel directly from the day tank, not from the remote bulk storage tank.
Gravitational or Pumped Feed: Day tanks are often elevated above the generator set to utilize gravity for fuel supply, which is a simple and highly reliable method. If elevation isn't possible, a transfer pump is used to move fuel from the bulk tank to the day tank.
Fuel Conditioning: The fuel in the day tank has time to settle, allowing any entrained water or solid contaminants to separate from the diesel. This is often aided by a water separator or sump at the bottom of the tank for periodic drainage.
Operational Buffer: It provides a crucial buffer of fuel, ensuring the generator can start and run immediately, even if there is a temporary issue with the primary bulk fuel supply or transfer pump system.
Enhanced Reliability and Uptime:
This is the most significant advantage. By providing a guaranteed, readily available fuel supply, the day tank ensures the generator can respond to a power outage without delay. It eliminates the risk of the engine stalling due to a failure in the long-range fuel transfer system.
Improved Fuel Quality:
The settling period within the day tank allows water and particulates to drop out of the suspension. Supplying cleaner, drier fuel to the engine's sensitive injectors drastically reduces the risk of filter clogging, injector fouling, and corrosion, leading to smoother operation and less maintenance.
System and Code Compliance:
Many building and fire codes strictly limit the amount of flammable fuel that can be stored inside a building or in an engine room. A day tank is designed to hold a code-compliant amount of fuel (typically enough for 8-24 hours of operation), while the larger, main storage tank is located outside in a safe, compliant area.
Operational Flexibility and Testing:
It allows for easy and safe testing of the generator set. Operators can test the system under load using only the fuel in the day tank without needing to activate the entire bulk storage and transfer system.
Easier Maintenance and Monitoring:
Day tanks are usually smaller and more accessible than bulk tanks, making visual inspections, water draining, and sludge removal simpler tasks. Fuel levels are also easier to monitor on a smaller, dedicated gauge.
Temperature Control (in some designs):
In cold climates, day tanks located inside a heated engine room are less susceptible to gelling and waxing (where diesel fuel solidifies in cold temperatures) compared to an outdoor bulk tank. This ensures the fuel remains fluid and ready for use.
Protection of Bulk Storage:
By drawing fuel from the day tank instead of constantly circulating fuel from the main tank, the bulk storage fuel remains still. This minimizes condensation inside the large tank, which is a primary cause of water contamination in diesel fuel.
