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 |
Steel-reinforced IBC | Chemicals, oils | Better impact resistance |
IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) are among the most widespread. Their 1000-litre format is well suited to construction sites oragriculture for simple transport of fuel, water or AdBlue. In the polyethylene or steelThey offer professionals maximum flexibility.


Mobile tanks with integrated geolocation
Type | Usage | Benefits |
---|---|---|
400 L CNG tank with GPS | Refueling of construction machinery | Position tracking and theft prevention |
ADR 330 L petrol tank | Vehicle fleets | ADR safety + traceability of movements |
These mobile tanks incorporate a GPS sensor which transmits position in real time. This enables companies to secure their reservoirs and track usage on different sites. Widely used in the transport and logisticsThey reduce the risk of loss and guarantee total compliance.
Double-walled mobile tank for added safety
Type | Usage | Benefits |
---|---|---|
900 L double-wall steel tank | Fuel and diesel oil | Reinforced protection against leaks |

To meet specific needs, there are dedicated tanks forAdBlueforwater or fuel oil. They are often equipped with a pump and a dispensing gunfor professional professional refuelling directly on site.
Issues related to mobile tanks
The use of mobile tanks for storage and transport of fuels (diesel fuel, gasoline, RNG, AdBlue) meets the essential needs of professionals in the construction, agriculture and transport sectors. But it also brings with it a host of challenges: respect for the ADR complianceThe right choice and management of a mobile tank means you can be sure that your products are safe, that hazardous products are managed, that losses are prevented and that costs are kept under control. Choosing and managing a mobile tank means guaranteeing both security, l’logistical efficiency and quality of service in the field.
Safe fuel transport and ADR compliance
- 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.

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.
💡 Ideal for tanks equipped with Rotarex, Cotrako or Rochester systems, it adapts perfectly to existing installations without modification.
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.
