Fuel IBC Totes

Fuel IBC Container Information

Compatible and reliable containers to handle raw fuel resources, its derivatives, or final products. IBC Tanks is an industry leading provider of metal intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) engineered and UN certified for many fuel handling scenarios. Container specifications and approvals include the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) requirements and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards for flammable and combustible liquid storage.

Fuel IBCs come in carbon steel and stainless steel construction. These materials and the container engineering meet safety guidelines required for the handling of hazardous, flammable, and/or combustible fuel products. Tanks range in volume from 110 gallons up to 793 gallons. These are multi-purpose, versatile containers compatible with energy production commodities intended for various vehicles and/or engine combustion applications where example materials include petroleum, natural oil, gasoline, biodiesel, and associated chemicals, byproducts, resources, and intermediates.

Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel Fuel IBC Specs

Metal fuel IBCs are made from stainless steel or carbon steel alloys with proven resistance and durability suited for fuel applications. Stainless steel (SS) IBCs are the most resilient and long term reusable option for the harsh fluids, chemicals, and environments common in fuel, refinery, and distribution applications. Stainless steel IBCs are manufactured from 304 grade, 10 gauge stainless steel. 316 grade SS is available on request.

Carbon steel fuel IBCs are manufactured from mild carbon steel and offer reliable resistance to petroleum-based commodities. Similar to SS, carbon steel IBCs are highly suited for reusable, extended fuel applications but can be potentially susceptible to environmental corrosive effects over time.

Stainless steel IBC containers carry UN/DOT 31A certification per Title 49 CFR for the transport of hazardous liquid materials in Packing Group II and III. Carbon steel IBCs are not currently UN/DOT permitted. Both metal IBCs are suitable for use in NFPA 30 compliant facilities for Class I flammable and Class II & III combustible storage of liquids compatible with the materials.

Metal intermediate bulk containers feature a combination fill cap and fusible vent, 22″ manway with EPDM gasket and zinc-plated bolted clamp ring, a 2″ 316 SS discharge assembly with locking handle ball valve, combination lifting/stacking alignment lugs, integrated 3 way forklift access for maneuverability, and a sloped no-heel bottom to promote full drainage of cargo contents.

Industries and Applications for Fuel IBCs

Fuel IBC containers are used in the petrochemical and oil industry to handle raw and refined fuel products. They often see use in the handling and transfer of crude oil and refined petrol-products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, and biodiesel fuel blends.

The energy production industry uses IBC containers for their unique engineering that improves resource acquisition, retention, distribution, storage and capacity, and limits contamination and spills. The ability to be directly integrated into application processes and connected to system equipment is one of the leading advantages of IBC selection.

Our IBCs are used to handle many of the liquids required in petroleum resourcing, oil and gas refineries, subterranean well fields, and product suppliers. This is due to their increased volume over common drum containers, their design that increases handling, organization, shipping and integration, as well as their ease of use, efficiency, reusability, and long term service potential.
