What is a mobile tank?

Definition and common uses (CNG, fuels, water, AdBlue, etc.)

A mobile tank is a transportable tank designed for storage and refueling of various liquids : fuels (diesel, RNG, gasoline, AdBlue)but also water or specific products. Unlike fixed tanks, it is easy to move from one site to another, and complies with safety standards. ADR safety for hazardous products. These tanks are available in steel or polyethylenewith single- or double-walled and sometimes a retention tank to limit the risk of pollution.
👉 They offer professionals a practical solution for powering their equipment or ensuring business continuity.

Frequent use :

  • Refuelling fuel (diesel, RNG, gasoline) for vehicles and machines.
  • Temporary storage ofwater orAdBlue on site.
  • Mobile power supply for stations or remote work units.
  • Safe transport of hazardous liquids (with pump and dispensing gun).

Sectors concerned (construction, agriculture, transport, equipment rental)

  • BTP supply site machinery directly on site → e.g. a 1,000-liter tank supplies bulldozers and generators.
  • Agriculture GNR or water distribution for agricultural machinery and greenhouses → e.g. a 600-liter mobile tanker equips a tractor at the height of the season.
  • Transport & logistics management of internal depots and stations for fleets of vehicles → e.g. a carrier equips its parking lot with several ADR-secured mobile tanks.
  • Equipment rental: turnkey service for supplying fuel to rented machines → e.g. a rental company offers a mobile tank with integrated pump and nozzle.

The different types of mobile tanks

IBC tanks and intermediate containers

Type Usage Benefits
IBC 1000 L polyethylene Transport of fuel (RNG, diesel) or water Standard format, easy to move and stack

  • Compliance with ADR standards for the transport of fuels and hazardous products.
  • Use of suitable tanks (steel or polyethylene, single- or double-walled) is mandatory.
  • Safety accessories: pump, gun, drip tray.

Risk of leakage, fire or theft

  • Possible leaks when refueling on site.
  • Fires linked to inappropriate fuel storage.
  • Frequent fuel theft from isolated or unattended sites.

Costs associated with manual management of stocks and supplies

  • Repeated movements to check levels.
  • Additional logistics costs for urgent deliveries.
  • Poor anticipation of fuel requirements in liters for machines and vehicles.

  • Delivery delays due to poor planning.

Our connected solution for mobile tanks

The Four Data connected gauge for transportable tanks

Our connected gauges are installed directly on your mobile tanks (steel or polyethylene, single- or double-walled, with drip tray). They continuously measure FUEL LEVEL (diesel, petrol, RNG, AdBlue) and automatically transmit the data to our secure platform. This solution is suitable for all tank formats, from small 200-liter models to tankers of several thousand liters.

Real-time monitoring of levels and movements

Thanks to our intelligent sensors, you can see in real time :

  • The exact volume available in each tank.
  • L’evolution of consumption by day, week or month.
  • The fuel movements (filling, refueling).

👉 No more manual checks: all information is just a click away from the web interface or mobile app.

Reservoir geolocation and geo-fencing

Each tank can be equipped with a geolocation module. You track their precise position and receive an alert if a tank leaves a defined zone (geo-fencing). This functionality is essential for securing your assets and limiting the risk of theft or fraudulent use, particularly on construction sites or in isolated depots.

Automatic alerts (low thresholds, displacement, anomalies)

Our gauges can be used to define customized thresholds :

  • Low threshold alert → anticipation of fuel delivery.
  • Displacement alert → detection of theft or unexpected movement.
  • Anomaly alert → leak or abnormal consumption.

📩 Sample notification :

“⚠️ 900 L RNG tank – East job site: low level (15% remaining). Plan to refuel.”

TOWERCELL LOCATOR – Precise location without GPS

The TOWERCELL LOCATOR is a complementary option available with FOUR DATA connected gauges.
This technology is based on the principle of cellular triangulation, which enables a sensor to be located by analyzing the signals it emits and its position relative to three network antennas.

By cross-referencing the data from these antennas, the platform determines the location of the sensor with a high degree of accuracy, without the need for a GPS module.
This approach offers several advantages: reduced energy consumption, better coverage in isolated areas and optimized operating costs.

👉 With the TOWERCELL LOCATOR option, users benefit from a reliable and accessible geolocation solution, perfectly integrated with the FOUR DATA connected platform for intelligent tracking of mobile and transportable tanks.

FAQs on mobile tanks

A tank is a tank designed for storing and transporting liquids (diesel, RNG, water, AdBlue). The tankerThe term “mobile tank” is often used to designate a larger-capacity tank, either fixed or trailer-mounted. Mobile tanks are designed to be moved easily, while complying with ADR standards when containing hazardous products.

A mobile tank of 1000 liters can take the form of a polyethylene IBC or a steel tank. Dimensions vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but on average : 1.2 m x 1 m x 1 m. This standard format makes it easy to transport, even on building sites or farms, while remaining compatible with most refuelling pumps and nozzles.

The service life of a oil tank depends on the material: approximately 10 to 15 years for a polyethylene tank and up to 20 years for a double-walled steel tank with a drip tray. Good maintenance (regular checks, ADR compliance) prolongs this lifespan and guarantees greater safety during storage.

The main role of a mobile tank is to safely store and transport liquids (fuels, water, AdBlue, agricultural or industrial products). It ensures refuelling of machines, vehicles or installations directly on site. Modern tanks offer connected options for precise level monitoring, to avoid breakages or overstocking.
