VEVOR 58 Gallon Portable Diesel Tank with 12V Pump: specs and uses

The VEVOR 58 gallon portable diesel tank is a transfer tank with a 12V electric pump, a hose and an automatic nozzle. It lets you carry diesel to equipment, such as tractors, trucks or generators, and refuel on site instead of driving each machine to a station.

Tank construction

The tank is polyethylene, which VEVOR says handles changing weather and resists UV radiation. The wall is 6 mm thick, reaching 12 mm at the thickest point. The lid locks with a copper lock to guard against theft. The listing mentions a black colour in the feature text, while the product title says red, so confirm the colour you want.

Capacity figures are worth reading closely: VEVOR lists a safe fill capacity of 52 gal and a maximum of 58 gal. Leaving headroom is a common practice with any fuel container, since liquid expands as it warms.

Pump and flow rate

A 12V transfer pump rated at 140W moves fuel from the tank to the vehicle. VEVOR gives the flow rate as 10.6 GPM (the title says 10 GPM). It includes a 13.1 ft rubber hose. A mechanical fuel gauge shows the level so you know when to refill. A 12V pump typically needs a battery or vehicle power source, so think about how you will connect it.

Duplex filtration

VEVOR describes two filter stages. A front-end filter in the inner tank separates large particles, and an outer filter is designed to catch finer material such as metal, colloids and tiny particles. Clean fuel matters for diesel engines, and keeping contamination out of the tank also helps.

Automatic nozzle

The fuel nozzle shuts off automatically when the receiving tank is full, which VEVOR says helps avoid waste and spillage. The adapter rotates to keep the hose from knotting, and the nozzle is made of aluminium alloy and PVC.

Moving it

The tank measures 32.3 x 26.6 x 24.4 inches (about 82 x 68 x 62 cm) and weighs 65.5 lb (about 30 kg) empty, so a full tank is very heavy. Two grooves help with secure transport, and an integrated forklift pocket lets you lift it onto a vehicle. VEVOR lists use with trucks, tractors, ships, motorhomes, and outdoor and construction industries.

Who it suits

It suits farms, contractors, workshops and anyone who runs diesel equipment away from a station. A household with one small machine will likely not need 58 gallons.

What to check before you buy

• Local rules for storing and transporting fuel: some areas limit container size, require approved containers or restrict carrying fuel on public roads. Follow local regulations and the manual.
• How you will lift and secure a tank that can weigh several hundred pounds when full.
• A 12V power source for the pump, and the cable reach.
• That the tank is for diesel only, as described.
• Where it will sit: level, ventilated and away from ignition sources.
• Replacement filters and how you will clean the tank.
