Construction projects have a fuel problem: equipment needs diesel constantly, but the job site might be miles from the nearest fuel station, and sending operators to fill up wastes hours every week. Renting an on-site storage tank solves this — without requiring capital investment in infrastructure that moves with your project.
What’s Included in a Tank Rental Program
A complete fuel tank rental from Assurance Direct Oil includes:
- Above-ground storage tank (500 to 10,000+ gallon capacity)
- Delivery and installation at your site
- Remote level monitoring with automatic refill scheduling
- Regulatory compliance management (EPA, SPCC plans where required)
- Scheduled fuel deliveries to keep the tank topped up
- Regular tank inspection and maintenance
- Removal at project completion
You focus on the build. We handle everything related to fuel storage and supply.
Choosing the Right Tank Size
Tank sizing depends on your equipment count, daily hours of operation, and preferred delivery frequency. A rough guide:
- 500–1,000 gallon tanks: Small projects (2–5 pieces of heavy equipment), weekly delivery
- 2,500–5,000 gallon tanks: Mid-size projects, bi-weekly delivery
- 10,000+ gallon tanks: Large projects with 10+ machines, monthly delivery
We help you right-size — too small means frequent deliveries, too large means fuel sitting longer than recommended without additives.
EPA and Regulatory Requirements
Above-ground storage tanks over 660 gallons are subject to EPA Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) regulations. Our rental program includes:
- SPCC plan preparation (where required by tank size and site type)
- Secondary containment berm installation
- Inspection logs and documentation
- Spill response kit
All regulatory requirements are handled by our compliance team — you’re not responsible for navigating federal and state storage regulations alone.
Short-Term vs. Long-Term Rental
We offer flexible rental periods. A three-month project gets a short-term rental. A permanent industrial facility gets a long-term agreement with more favorable pricing. We can also transition short-term rentals to long-term agreements if projects extend beyond original timelines.
