Does KDT provide fuel cubes and temporary fuel tanks?
Fuel Cubes & Temporary Fuel Tanks
Yes.
KDT provides fuel cubes and temporary fuel tanks, double-wall tanks from a few hundred to several thousand gallons with pumps, meters and containment, set up on your incident as a fuel point or tied to generators for longer runtime.
Typical configuration
- Fuel cubes
- About 250–2,000+ gal, double-wall steel with 110% integral containment
- Larger storage
- Skid tanks about 2,000–12,000 gal; collapsible bladders for remote sites
- Dispensing
- 12 V or 120 V pump, about 10–25 gpm, filter, meter, hose and auto-shutoff nozzle
- Construction
- UL 142 double-wall or equivalent aboveground tanks (typical)
- Handling
- Forklift pockets and lifting lugs; lockable dispenser cabinet
- Planning note
- Aboveground oil storage over 1,320 gal aggregate generally triggers SPCC planning
A fuel cube is a self-contained, double-walled steel tank in a frame you can move with a forklift or crane, with a lockable cabinet for the pump, filter, meter and hose. It gives an incident its own fuel station: equipment and vehicles fill at the camp fuel point instead of driving to town, and one bulk delivery refills the tank.
Temporary tanks also extend generator runtime. A towable generator's base tank may last a day or two; tie it to a large external tank and it can run a week or more between fills. That matters at remote repeater sites, at critical facilities after a hurricane and anywhere a fuel truck can't get to every day.
KDT sets tanks on level ground with secondary containment, bonding and grounding, spill kits and signage, fills them and tracks inventory. Large aggregate fuel storage on one site can bring spill-prevention planning requirements, so we size and document storage with that in mind.

Questions, answered.
Does KDT provide fuel cubes and temporary fuel tanks?
Yes. We supply double-wall fuel cubes and temporary tanks with pumps and meters, set them up with containment, and keep them filled for the length of the incident.
What is a fuel cube?
A portable double-walled fuel tank in a steel frame with a built-in pump, meter and hose. It works as a small fuel station and can be moved with a forklift.
Can a fuel tank be connected to a generator?
Yes. Tying a generator to an external tank extends runtime from a day or two to a week or more between fills.
Do temporary fuel tanks need containment?
Yes. We use double-wall tanks with built-in containment, add spill kits and berms where needed, and plan storage so it meets the spill-prevention rules that apply to the site.
