The Bluecat Bulk Tank Range

We're working with all the major tank manufactures to offer a complete range of bulk BlueCat tank systems so we can be sure to match your exact AdBlue storage requirements.

And it's not necessarily much more expensive to go straight for bulk storage instead of IBCs when you consider the lower cost of bulk delivery and the costs of IBC-related pumps and other equipment.

AdBlue can be delivered in Bulk by a local distributor or direct from the factory on Teesside by Petroplus.

The Three BlueCat Bulk tank Steps

There are three steps to choosing your BlueCat bulk tank system

First of all choose your tank taking into account your likely requirement and the space available
Then select the dispensing options, thinking about whether you may require 'fit-for-trade' standards if you're planning to retail the product. Learn more about these
Lastly identify the installation requirements. Learn more about this

A Typical Bulk Installation

A typical bulk tank installation will comprise a self-contained 5,000 litre self-bunded plastic bulk tank, complete with all dispensing equipment including digital meter display & keypad with non-drip nozzle & AdBlue quality hoses.

Allow an installed budget cost of about ?5-6,000 depending upon your choice of dispensing equipment, delivery location onto your pre-prepared 300mm concrete base.  You'll need to add the cost of any electrical connections and safety barrier work.

You may want to think about trace-heating but in most cases a 60watt lightbulb in the dispense cabinet will provide enough heat to keep the pump equipment from freezing.

Examples of 5000 litre Tanks from various manufacturers

5,000 Litre BlueStore tank from Titan Tanks
5,000 Litre BlueTec tank from Balmoral Tanks
2,500 Litre AdBlue tank from Harlequin Tanks

We strongly recommend the services of an OFTEC-registered installer to advise on workplace safety, environmental safety when considering installing a bulk tank. 

So, Let's Choose your tank

Our approved range of rotary moulded double-skinned AdBlue tanks are colour-coded in a distinctive blue colour to prevent delivery muddles. You don't want to have fuel oil delivered to your AdBlue tank by mistake!

The exact tank you chose and the capacity required will depend on the space available and how much you need to store.  We recommend the 5,000 litre tank as is sufficiently large to store at least a month's supply for the largest fleets when all vehicles are Euro4 compliant [in a few years time].  Spend some time to think about tanker access including minimising tanker inconvenience and holding enough volume to qualify for the largest bulk-delivery discounts.  Other sizes are available and our Which Tank Is Right For You? table [below] will help you make your choice.  Think also about the practical advice on siting your tank.

What You Get as Standard in the tank

Watchman tank monitoring equipment comes as standard and warns the operator when AdBlue levels are low and a fresh delivery is required.  We can monitor your tanks for you.  The double bund provides insulation to prevent the contents from freezing.

Which Tank is Right for You?

Tank Size Comments Approx diameter Tank-only Budget Cost
2,500 litres Fine if space is limited but misses out on the full bulk delivery discount 2.5m ?3000
5,000 Litres Our recommendation for most operators providing the optimum combination of delivery quantity without storing too much 3m ?4000
7,500 litres Ideal for vehicle workshops where AdBlue top-up is part of preventative maintenance or retail sales are planned.   3.25m ?5000
10,000 litres Fine for Service stations and the largest fleet depots with an eye for the future.   4m ?6000

Don't forget you need to add the cost of your dispensing options and any ground-works onto the budget tank cost. 

Now you need to specify your tank dispense option

There are three choices for dispensing options from Bulk Tanks

A totally pre-configured self-contained tank with all dispensing systems inside the bund that can be installed simply by placing on a concrete pad and plugged into a IP65 13-amp socket protected by an RCD.  Learn More
A professionally installed tank with separate pedestal fuel dispenser, complete with digital meter & non-drip nozzle  Not fit for trade Learn More
Fit for trade dispensing pump suitable for use in a filling-station or forecourt environment.  Fully integrated with Point-of-Sale equipment in the shop, this option requires professional installation.
