‘How much petrol can I carry?’

By Alistair July 19, 2018 07:04

A large number of golf clubs still collect petrol in jerry cans, often invalidating vehicle insurance.

Operating in this way is also a time consuming task with multiple trips for small quantities.

If your usage does not warrant a small above ground petrol tank then a mobile petrol caddy is a great alternative.

The petrol caddy facilitates the legal carriage of petrol in quantities up to 330 litres.

Petrol is a ‘Class 3’ hazardous product, meaning that full ADR driver training is only required for quantities greater than 333 litres.

The smaller caddies that start from 95 litres up to 190 litres units are light weight and easily moved when empty. Containing anti explosive fibres, they can be bunded if required.

If you are working away from the sheds you can conveniently fill up multiple machines by carrying the caddy on the course, its a big time saver.

Our large caddies are a aluminium and steel construction, with a large capacity bund that also acts as a secure housing for for the pump and equipment.

What sets these apart is the fire proof insulation, which is rated to 60 minutes.

These units sit perfectly in an open backed pickup or trailer.

The unit is filled at your local filling station and them dispensed using an onboard hand pump or 12v ATEX rated electric pump.

Training for the safe operation and a working knowledge of ADR can be provided by The Petrol Tank Company. It’s really important to understand the potential hazards of petrol and operate the best working practises. The Petrol Tank Company invests heavily in training to insure it can provide up to date regulations to all customers.

Various options like hose reels and backup pumps are also available.

“The great thing about building to order for our customers is the ability to make exactly what you need,” said a spokesman.
