Compliant fuel storage, above or below ground
Our self-bunded above-ground steel tanks and underground fibreglass tanks are built to AS 1940 (the storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids). For above-ground installs that call for a protected tank, we build to the licensed STI Fireguard® steel tank system.
Capacities run from 2,000L to 200,000L in standard ranges, with custom fabrication available for larger or non-standard sites. Every tank is manufactured under ISO 9001 quality control at Tomago NSW or Kwinana Beach WA.

Don’t risk your critical infrastructure on a tank with no warranty
An importer can’t register a Fireguard® 4-hour rated tank, and without registration its warranty is void.
Hospitals, data centres, mines and defence sites depend on their fuel storage. An imported tank may be cheaper, but that’s because it comes without the warranty.
For Fireguard® 4-hour rated tanks the warranty is the biggest difference. See Fireguard® 4-hour rated tanks: made in Australia or imported, or read the Fireguard® performance warranty (PDF).

Which fuel tank do I need?
Start with your site. Whether the tank goes above or below ground, whether you already have a bund, and how close it sits to buildings will usually decide it.
| If you need | Choose | Why |
|---|---|---|
| No bund to build, and a tank you can move later |  Self-bunded tank | The double wall is the bund. Up to 110,000L of diesel or 55,000L of petrol, built to AS 1940 and AS 1692. |
| Less space between the tank and buildings |  Fireguard® 4-hour tank | Insulated double wall that is rated to the SwRI 4-hour fire test and can cut separation distances by up to 50%. |
| A fire rating with several fuel grades |  Flameshield® 2-hour tank | 2-hour fire rated, with interstitial leak monitoring and compartments for each grade. |
| Large volumes in a concrete bund |  Single-wall horizontal tank | 2,000–150,000L to AS 1692 Category 4, manifolded side by side. |
| Underground storage with full containment and no corrosion |  Double-wall FRP tank | 2,000–150,000L to UL 1316 for fibreglass tanks, with Truchek® leak monitoring and a 30-year corrosion warranty. |
| A steel structural tank underground |  Glasteel® II tank | 2,000–200,000L under STI licence. The FRP outer wall removes the need for cathodic protection. |
