Q- Are the different size tanks interchangeable?

A- Yes, you can stack a 70-gallon tank on top of a 120-gallon tank or vise-versa and also stack the 180-gallon tank on top of a 240 -gallon tank. With the use of the converting bracket, (Dav-CBR), you can stack either the 70 or 120 on top of either the 180 or 240 gallon tanks.

Q- What type of valve do you recommend?

A- We provide two type of valves. 

  •  A brass spring release that eliminates the possibility of someone leaving the valve open causing an oil spill. Handle automatically releases to the off position when lever is released

  • A single union poly valve in those applications large volumes of product requires dispensing.

Q- Will we be able to use all the oil inside  your systems?

A- No, the valve area is about an inch off the bottom. This doesn’t mean you loss the oil like in 55-gallon drums because the drums are being returned or being discarded.  This oil will be your oil until you decide to drain it by tipping the tank towards the valve to empty the tank completely.

Q- Can we install a pump on top of your tanks?

A- Yes, all tanks come standard with a second 2” opening on top of tank. However when you stack the tanks unless you utilize the converting bracket, only the top tank can use a standard air pump directly into the tank. Or you can use a wall mounted pump and come out of the bottom outlet with your hose.

Q- Can we stack the 70-gallon tanks higher than 3?

A- You can if the tanks are supported to keep from tipping. We recommend you don’t however there are companies that have but they supported the front of tanks with braces that run over the top of the tanks then supported to the wall. Also for loads greater than three tanks high we recommend you provide your own stand.
