1. What are self-bunded fuel tanks？
Self-bunded fuel tanks are a fundamental fueling facility primarily composed of a fuel storage tank (ranging from 5 to 60 tons), a fuel dispenser, a liquid level gauge, and a piping system designed for refueling vehicles. They can also be retrofitted with a fuel retail management system and a video surveillance system to facilitate financial management and reduce labor costs.
A self-bunded fuel tank functions essentially as a miniature gas station. If a dual-tank configuration is selected, it allows for the storage and dispensing of two different fuel types—typically diesel and gasoline.
What are the advantages of self-bunded fuel tanks?
1. Compared to traditional gas stations, self-bunded fuel tanks require a significantly lower initial capital investment.
2. Their placement is not restricted to a fixed location; they can be easily relocated at any time using a trailer.
3. They are equipped with robust safety measures, offering protection against both fire and explosions.
4. By issuing RFID cards, they enable unmanned, self-service refueling operations.
5. Users can remotely monitor operational data and generate reports via a dedicated mobile application.
6. A remote video surveillance system is integrated to ensure overall site security.
2. What are the characteristics and advantages of self-bunded fuel tanks?
Self-bunded fuel tanks are a really good solution compared to the traditional gas station because it is convenient, low-cost, non-construction needed, self-supported, movable, and flexible.
Only a small site, you can build a gas station by yourself,
and it can be installed on a truck and moved to where you want to go at any time. It solves the problem of refueling in the last kilometer.
However, its biggest advantage is to help customers save costs.
For example, a transportation and logistics company operates 20 vehicles. They travel to and from all parts of the country every day. Each vehicle needs to refuel 200L per day. Then a company needs to consume 4000L of fuel a day and 120,000L a month. Comparing the gas station and the fuel market wholesale price, the difference is roughly US$0.3 per liter (Chinese experience).
If you run a self-bunded fuel tank on your own, you can save US$1,200 per day, US$36,000 per month, and US$36,000 per year. Save 432,000 USD. If your company runs 100 or even 200 vehicles, you can save a lot of money.
