Renting and leasing are tools to spread costs over time while creating a favorable basis for future investments. By renting or leasing, the company does not tie up its capital, does not use its banking securities, and thus does not lock up its credit capacity.

Customer Case
Transport Tank Compact 2000 liters
South of Gothenburg in Kungsbacka, we visit Alexander Frost, who owns and runs AFR Entreprenad. They work with ground and construction in Kungsbacka and the Gothenburg area, and here they are developing a plot in Särö. AFR previously had a smaller aluminum tank for a pickup, and here a 2000 L ADR-approved and bunded Transport Tank Compact with pump and bucket support as accessories. We let Alexander share his thoughts about the tank and how it is to use.
Theft-protected and environmentally safe
“What’s good about the tank is that we no longer need the blast mat we’ve used all these years. We put the bucket over it as secure protection. Design-wise, I think it’s good—no manholes, you can’t get in anywhere except under the bucket, which is well protected.”
From the outside, there are no direct points of access to the tank, as the manhole and other connections are located under the pump lid and inside the bunding, where refueling also takes place. For similar products, check out our AdBlue tanks.
Versatile and compact
“It’s easy to handle, both with chains and with pallet forks – so we are super satisfied.”
Our TTC200 is a safe and convenient diesel tank, suitable for all types of workplaces. Its design makes it easy to handle and transport, while also protecting it from theft and unnecessary wear. The tank’s lifting eyes are tested and approved for double the filled tank’s weight. Easily accessible details make both maintenance and regular work easier.
Cab-style tank lid
The cab-style tank lid and the filling area contribute to a convenient working situation. Under the lid, there is space for storage. Other connections are ergonomically placed and designed, such as a two-inch ball valve for venting during refueling.
MPP has been great to us
So far, we’ve had no problems with the tanks at all, and I don’t think we’ll have any either – at least we hope not. We can recommend the tank. Emotionally, it feels much safer than the regular round ones we’ve had before. We haven’t had any theft yet, but the day we do, we hope they fail. MPP has been great to us. We’ve bought both small tanks and now a large one, so we are very satisfied.
MPP offers the market’s most advanced and well-thought-out diesel tanks. One of our commitments is to continuously develop and refine safe and convenient products. We do this so that your work can run as smoothly as possible. It pays to carefully consider your choice of tank. See which diesel tanks may suit your operations.
Some common questions about diesel tanks
What is a farm tank?
A farm tank is a container used to store and transport various types of liquids and chemicals. There are many different types of farm tanks, including water containers, fertilizer tanks, and chemical storage units.
Typically, a farm tank consists of a container made of steel, plastic, or another material that is safe for storing liquids and chemicals. The container usually has a filling port, outlet valve, level gauge, and other equipment needed to store and distribute the liquid or chemical.
What is a farm tank used for?
Farm tanks are used to store and transport liquids and chemicals used in the agricultural industry. Water, for example, can be used for crop irrigation or animal feed, fertilizers are used to enrich the soil, and chemicals are used to control pests and diseases.
Farm tanks make it possible for farmers to store and transport these liquids and chemicals in a safe and efficient way. They also help prevent contamination of soil, air, and water.
Are there different types of farm tanks?
There are many different types of farm tanks to choose from, depending on your needs and preferences. Here are some of the most common types of farm tanks:
Water tanks – These tanks are used to store and transport water for animal feed and irrigation. They are usually made of plastic and come in different sizes, from small buckets to large tanks that can hold thousands of liters of water.
Fertilizer tanks – These tanks are used to store and transport fertilizers for enriching the soil. They are usually made of steel or plastic and come in various sizes, from small tanks for garden use to large tanks used in large-scale farming.
Chemical storage units – These units are used to store chemicals that are used to control pests and diseases. They are usually made of steel and have extra safety features to prevent leaks or spills.
Transport tanks – These tanks are used to transport liquids and chemicals from one place to another. They can be stationary or mobile and come in different sizes and shapes depending on their purpose.
How does a farm tank work?
A farm tank works by storing and transporting liquids and chemicals. Water, fertilizers, and chemicals are usually filled through a filling port at the top of the tank, and the amount is measured with a level gauge that shows how much liquid or chemical remains.
When the liquid or chemicals are needed, they are usually pumped out through an outlet valve and directed to the places where they are to be used. Some farm tanks also have filter devices or other equipment that help remove impurities and particles from the liquids or chemicals before they are used.
Maintenance of farm tanks
To extend the lifespan of your farm tank, it is important to have a regular maintenance plan in place. Here are some tips for maintaining your farm tank:
Clean the tank regularly – It is important to clean the tank regularly to avoid the accumulation of dirt and contaminants. A dirty tank can lead to blockages and other problems that may damage the tank.
Check the tank for leaks – It is important to regularly check the tank for leaks or cracks. If you discover any problems, you should address them immediately to avoid bigger issues.
Replace old and worn parts – It is important to replace old and worn parts on the tank to avoid future problems. This may include valves, level gauges, and other parts that are crucial for the tank to function effectively.
Use the right equipment – When handling your farm tank, it is important to use the right equipment to avoid damage or accidents. This may include gloves, safety goggles, and other protective gear.
