Customer Case
Aluminum Flatbed Cover Tank 200 Liters
Per Hällnevik runs FH Skog together with his colleague Mikael. They are engaged in final felling and thinning. We head out to the forests in Gräfsnäs to hear what Per has to say and how it is to use the flatbed tank in their daily operations.
The tank is user-friendly
“The tank is very user-friendly! A great feature is that it has dual outlets, so you can have both a direct fill hose connected to the machine and also use the extra tank nozzle if you want to fill machines that don’t have a pump”, says Per Hällnevik.
The tanks are low-profile and available in 435 mm and 450 mm heights, which makes them suitable for all pickups with flatbed covers or roller shutters.

Lightweight matters a lot
“The fact that the tank is lightweight means a great deal because the suspension of pickups can’t handle too much, especially since we’re carrying other loads that are quite heavy. We bring chainsaws, toolboxes, AdBlue, chains, bars—lots of heavy items.“
Our aluminum flatbed tank is a safe and convenient helper at the worksite. The lightweight material makes a big difference on, for example, your flatbed, reducing wear and tear on your vehicle.

Meets PEFC requirements
Tanks used by PEFC-certified companies must be UN-marked and have ADR certification, but ADR-approved plastic tanks still need to be discarded after five years and must also have an embedded clock showing the manufacturing date. Our aluminum pickup tank has no such expiration date, and the rust-free and maintenance-free material also keeps the fuel clean during storage. The tank meets all the requirements that tanks used by PEFC-certified companies must fulfill.
MPP offers innovative, safe, and convenient diesel tanks
We continuously develop our tanks and are always introducing new products. We do this to ensure your work can proceed as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Choosing the right tank really pays off.
MPP is easy to get in touch with
“MPP is a local company with a high level of service and is easy to reach. That means a lot,” Per concludes.
Explore which aluminum tanks best suit your vehicle—whether you have a flatbed cover, roller shutter, canopy, enclosed body, or open flatbed.

Some common questions about diesel tanks
What is a diesel tank?
Diesel tanks are an important part of many industries and businesses around the world. They are used to store and transport diesel fuel to vehicles, generators, and other machines. In this article, we will look at different types of diesel tanks, how they work, and what factors you should consider when purchasing a diesel tank.
A diesel tank is a container used to store and transport diesel fuel. There are many different types of diesel tanks, including stationary tanks used to store fuel on-site and mobile tanks used to transport fuel to various locations.
Typically, a diesel tank consists of a container made of steel, plastic, or another material that is safe for storing diesel fuel. The container usually has a filling port, outlet valve, level gauge, and other equipment needed to store and distribute the fuel.

Why are diesel tanks used?
Diesel fuel is used by many different machines and vehicles, including trucks, tractors, ships, and generators. In order to keep these machines running, they need access to enough fuel. Diesel tanks allow businesses and industries to store and transport large amounts of diesel fuel in a safe and efficient manner.
Types of diesel tanks
There are many different types of diesel tanks to choose from, depending on your needs and preferences. Here are some of the most common types of diesel tanks:
Stationary Diesel Tanks – These tanks are used to store fuel on-site. They are usually made of steel and come in various sizes, from small tanks for home use to large tanks used in industries.
Mobile Diesel Tanks – These tanks are used to transport diesel fuel to different locations. They are typically made of steel or plastic and come in various sizes, from small tanks that can be transported in a pickup truck to large trucks with tanks.
Double-Walled Diesel Tanks – These tanks have an extra wall to minimize the risk of leakage. If the inner wall were to crack or rupture, the outer wall would prevent the fuel from leaking out.
Underground Diesel Tanks – These tanks are placed below ground level to save space and reduce the risk of theft and vandalism. They are usually made of steel and have extra protection to prevent corrosion and damage from the environment.
Pumpable Diesel Tanks – These tanks are designed to allow fuel to be pumped out without the need to disconnect pipes or use other tools. They are ideal for businesses that need quick and easy access to fuel.

How does a diesel tank work?
Diesel tanks function by storing diesel fuel and then distributing it to machines and vehicles when needed. The fuel is typically filled through a refueling port on top of the tank, and it is measured with a level gauge that shows how much fuel is left.
When the fuel is to be used, it is usually pumped out through a discharge valve and directed to vehicles or machines. Some diesel tanks also have a filtration system that helps remove impurities and particles from the fuel before it is used.

Factors to consider when buying a diesel tank
When purchasing a diesel tank, there are several factors you should consider in order to find the best tank for your needs. Here are some key factors to keep in mind:
Size – The size of the tank is an important factor to consider. You need to choose a tank that is large enough to hold the amount of diesel fuel you need, but not too large to make it unnecessarily expensive.
Material – You must choose the right material for your diesel tank depending on its use. Steel tanks are generally more durable and easier to maintain, while plastic tanks are lightweight and easy to install.
Safety – Safety is an important factor when it comes to diesel tanks. You need to choose a tank that is safe and meets all local and national regulations. It might also be wise to select a tank with extra safety features, such as a double-wall construction or a spill tray.
Transport – If you need to transport your diesel tank regularly, you will need a mobile tank. Mobile diesel tanks are usually smaller and easier to transport than stationary tanks.
Installation – The installation of your diesel tank is also important. You need a tank that is easy to install and adapt to your needs. It might also be wise to hire a professional to install the tank, especially if it is a larger tank that needs to be set up.
To summarize, diesel tanks are an important part of many businesses and industries around the world. By storing and distributing diesel fuel in a safe and efficient manner, diesel tanks help keep vehicles and machinery running. There are many different types of diesel tanks to choose from, including stationary and mobile tanks, double-wall tanks, and underground tanks. When selecting a diesel tank, it is important to consider factors such as size, material, safety, transport, and installation to find the best tank for your needs.
Regardless of the type of diesel tank you choose, it is important to have the right maintenance plan in place to extend the lifespan of your tank. Regular inspections, cleaning, and maintenance of the equipment can help prevent problems and ensure that your diesel tank operates effectively and safely for a longer time.
