Liquip supplies farm fuel tanks for Victoria agricultural businesses can use to store and dispense diesel on-site. Our solutions are designed for grain growers, dairy farms, livestock properties, orchards, irrigation operations and other rural businesses that need reliable diesel storage for farms Victoria.

We supply tanks, pumps, meters, hoses and fuel management systems while supporting AS 1940 and EPA Victoria farm fuel storage requirements. 

Farm Fuel Tanks Victoria: Product Range

Self-Bunded Farm Tanks 

A self-bunded tank has two walls. The inner tank stores the diesel, while the outer wall provides built-in secondary containment. This design can reduce the need for a separately constructed external bund, subject to the complete installation and site requirements. 

Liquip Rural Steel Farm Tanks 

A liquid rural farm tank search generally refers to the Liquip Rural farm tank range. These Australian-designed and made steel tanks are built for rural fuel storage and dispensing. 

Liquip Rural single-wall tanks are available in standard capacities of:

  • 4,500 litres  
  • 6,000 litres  
  • 8,500 litres  
  • 17,500 litres  

Larger 28,000-litre and 36,000-litre options are also listed within the range. Liquip Victoria provides specifications for its Liquip Rural farm tanks. 

A liquid rural farm tank can be configured with 12V, 240V or solar-powered pumping equipment. These options allow the tank to operate as a stand-alone refuelling system. 

Poly Fuel Tanks 

Poly tanks can provide a lightweight option for certain fuels and operating conditions. The selected material must be approved for the liquid being stored and suitable for outdoor exposure, impact risks and the required capacity. 

Single-Wall Steel Tanks 

A single-wall farm diesel tank Victoria solution can provide cost-effective storage when installed with suitable secondary containment and site controls. 

Trailer-Mounted Fuel Tanks 

Trailer-mounted tanks allow diesel to be taken to machinery working away from the main storage area. Liquip Rural refuelling trailers are available in several capacities and can be fitted with dispensing equipment. 

Rural Fuel Storage Tank Victoria Compliance

A rural fuel storage tank Victoria installation may need to consider AS 1940, relevant tank construction requirements, WorkSafe Victoria regulations, EPA Victoria guidance and local planning controls. 

  • Important site considerations include: 
  • Separation from buildings and ignition sources  
  • Stable tank foundations  
  • Vehicle impact protection  
  • Safe fuel delivery access  
  • Spill response equipment  
  • Tank ventilation  
  • Overfill protection  
  • Stormwater drains and waterways  
  • Bushfire risks  
  • Inspection and maintenance access  
  • Security and unauthorised use  
  • Emergency procedures  

AS 1940 Requirements 

AS 1940 provides guidance for storing and handling flammable and combustible liquids. The requirements that apply depend on the fuel type, quantity, tank design and location. 

EPA Victoria Farm Fuel Storage Responsibilities 

Under Victoria’s general environmental duty, businesses must eliminate or reduce risks of harm to people and the environment so far as reasonably practicable. 

Controls may include: 

  • Suitable primary and secondary containment  
  • Regular tank inspections  
  • Leak and level monitoring  
  • Spill kits  
  • Protected filling and dispensing areas  
  • Safe drainage  
  • Staff training  
  • Maintenance records  
  • Emergency response procedures  

Do Tanks Under 25,000 Litres Need a Permit? 

It should not be stated that every Victorian farm tank below 25,000 litres is automatically permit-free.  

Permit and notification requirements can depend on: 

  • Local council planning schemes  
  • Property zoning and overlays  
  • Fuel type  
  • Total dangerous goods held on the property  
  • Tank location and capacity  
  • Earthworks or associated structures  
  • Distance from boundaries and buildings  
  • Bushfire planning controls  
  • Existing permits and approved land use  

Farm Fuel Bowser Victoria: Complete Refuelling Setup 

A complete farm fuel bowser Victoria package can include: 

Fuel Storage Tank 

Choose a suitable single-wall, self-bunded or trailer-mounted tank based on fuel use, delivery volume and site conditions. 

Fuel Pump 

Available pump configurations include: 

  • 12V DC pumps  
  • 24V DC pumps  
  • 240V AC pumps  
  • Solar-powered systems  
  • High-flow pumps  
  • Engine-driven pumps  

Hose and Hose Reel 

A suitable fuel hose allows machinery to be reached safely from the dispensing point. A retractable reel keeps the hose organised and helps protect it when not in use. 

Flow Meter 

A mechanical or digital flow meter records the amount of diesel dispensed. This helps farmers monitor usage and plan future fuel deliveries. 

Automatic Nozzle 

An automatic shut-off nozzle makes refuelling easier and helps reduce overfilling. 

Filtration 

Fuel filters and water separators can help protect stored diesel and reduce the risk of contaminated fuel reaching farm machinery. 

Fuel Management System 

A fuel management system can record fuel use by employee, vehicle or machine. It can also help prevent unauthorised access and provide clearer information about farm operating costs. 

Fuel Storage Applications for Victorian Farms 

Grain and Cropping Farms 

A bulk diesel storage farm system can help maintain fuel supply for tractors, harvesters, trucks and spraying equipment. 

Dairy Farms 

Reliable diesel storage for farms Victoria can reduce travel and help keep daily operations moving. 

Sheep and Cattle Properties 

Livestock properties may need fuel for tractors, loaders, pumps and utility vehicles. A well-positioned SmartFill fuel management provides a convenient central refuelling point. 

Irrigation Operations 

Diesel is often used to power pumps and generators at remote irrigation sites. A trailer-mounted tank can take fuel closer to equipment operating away from the main farm buildings. 

Orchards and Vineyards 

A compact farm diesel tank Victoria package can support tractors, sprayers, mowers and transport vehicles without taking up unnecessary space. 

Remote Farm Machinery 

A diesel tank for farm machinery can be installed near the main equipment yard or configured as a mobile trailer.  

Large Rural Operations 

A larger bulk diesel storage farm Victoria setup can include multiple tanks, high-flow pumps and fuel management equipment. This may suit farms operating a large fleet or receiving fuel in bulk deliveries.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the best fuel tank for a farm in regional Victoria?

    For most Victorian farms, a self-bunded diesel tank between 5,000L and 25,000L is the most practical and compliant solution. Self-bunded tanks do not require a concrete bunded slab, meet AS1940 and EPA Victoria requirements, and can be positioned close to machinery sheds or refuelling points. Liquip Victoria can help size the tank based on your annual fuel usage and site layout. 

  • Can I store diesel on my farm without a council permit in Victoria?

    In most cases, yes. Self-bunded farm tanks under 25,000 litres generally do not require a building or planning permit in Victoria, provided the installation complies with AS1940 and relevant EPA Victoria environmental guidelines. For larger volumes or specific local government areas, it is worth confirming requirements with your local council. Liquip Victoria can provide guidance on this. 

  • How do I pump diesel from a farm tank to machinery?

    The most common setup is a 12V DC pump (battery-powered, useful for remote locations without mains power) or a 240V AC pump for higher flow rates in sheds with power access. Both can be fitted with a hose reel, automatic nozzle, and flow meter. Liquip Victoria supplies and installs complete farm refuelling stations including pump, hose reel, nozzle, and flow meter as a turnkey package. 

  • What size farm fuel tank do I need?

    A general guide: small farms with 2-5 pieces of machinery typically suit a 2,500L or 5,000L tank. Medium properties may require 10,000L to 25,000L for peak season demands. Large cropping or mixed farming operations often use 30,000L to 68,000L tanks. Liquip Victoria can advise based on your machinery, acreage, and fuel delivery schedule. 

  • Are Liquip Victoria's farm tanks EPA Victoria compliant?

    Yes. All farm fuel tanks supplied by Liquip Victoria are self-bunded (double-walled) and comply with AS1940 and EPA Victoria storage guidelines, meaning they provide built-in secondary containment to prevent soil and groundwater contamination. We can also provide site-specific documentation if required for EPA compliance purposes. 

  • Can Liquip Victoria deliver and install a farm fuel tank in regional Victoria?

    Yes. Liquip Victoria delivers and installs farm fuel tanks across all of Victoria including regional areas such as the Wimmera, Mallee, Goulburn Valley, Western District, and Gippsland. Delivery and installation timeframes depend on location and tank size — contact us for a site-specific quote.
