Frequently asked questions

Is the tank installation really at no cost?

Tank installation may be provided at no cost as part of qualifying contracted wholesale bulk diesel supply. Customers must consume and commit to more than 100,000 litres per month, sign a minimum 36-month contract and qualify for 30-day credit terms. Equipment ownership and any site works are confirmed in the written proposal; approval is not automatic.

Can I apply for diesel storage tank installation on credit?

Yes. Tank placement is available on 30-day credit terms only, subject to credit assessment, management approval and a signed supply agreement. COD, cash, upfront payment and shorter payment periods are not available for this tank-placement programme.

Which diesel storage tank sizes are available?

The application offers one 23,000L tank, two 23,000L tanks or one 46,000L tank. Self-bunded tanks or conventional tanks with a bund wall are considered according to site suitability, local approvals and equipment availability.

How long does tank installation take?

Allow at least 30 days after the agreement and required information are received for equipment placement, subject to availability, site readiness, logistics and approvals. If self-bunded tanks are not permitted, bund-wall approvals and construction can take six months or longer. A site-specific schedule is confirmed after assessment.

What approvals and site information do I need?

Provide the physical site address, inspection contact, site plan and photos, tanker access details and power availability. We assess municipal, fire and environmental approval status, whether self-bunded tanks are permitted, and landlord consent for leased sites. Any required approvals and fire-department sign-off must be completed before fuel deliveries.

Are the tanks SANS 10131 compliant?

Storage and dispensing arrangements are assessed against applicable SANS 10131 requirements and local authority conditions. The supplied installation guidance references bund containment of 110% of tank capacity and 1.5m clearance inside the bund. Final dimensions, safety distances, electrical certification and approvals must be confirmed for the specific site and current requirements.

What dispensing equipment can be requested?

Pump and flow-rate needs, meters, hoses, nozzles, fuel management, access controls and telemetry can be specified in the application. The supplied self-bunded examples show Piusi MC70 pumps, extended piping and ladders. The final equipment package is confirmed in the proposal, not guaranteed by the example photographs.

What happens if we relocate our site?

Discuss the new site with GT Fuels before relocating equipment. Relocation, transport, reinstallation, site approvals and any costs must be agreed as part of the ongoing supply arrangement.
