The Orca OA-Series tank range is a premium aviation fuel storage tank solution designed for harsh operating environments with minimal site preparation.

Pressed corners and a reinforced top means a robust tank for your fuel storage needs. The main points in this design are a curved tank roof finish, greater capacity for safe fill and the ability to see under the tank.

The Orca OA-18 fuel storage tank is constructed to an international ISO shipping container footprint for ease of transport and transfer. The footprint utilises the container lock dimensions and ensures ease of transport, saving your business time and money.

MULTI COMPARTMENT TANK

OA-Series tanks can be supplied with ready-to-use pumps, reels, meters and filtration. Standard and custom build add-on compartments can be specified to hold lubricants, coolant or waste oil as required.

Multi products within same tank footprint are available if required. End mounted security cabinets can be fitted including steel or roller shutter doors and internal spillage trays, to house pipe work, pumps, gauging, alarms and controls.
