Farm Fuel Tanks

Have you been looking for more on-farm fuel storage or perhaps a new tank for your irrigation pivot?  Are you tired of having all the oil drums and plastic jugs from packaged oils?  As spring and planting season are quickly upon us, having more space for fuel, propane, and lube storage can help an operation immensely.  However, with rising steel prices, fuel and propane tanks can be expensive to purchase outright.  CVA has made this process easy, with our energy equipment lease program, where we lease refined fuel, propane, lubes, and DEF tanks to you all at a flat, annual fee.

Refined fuels—clear and dyed diesel & gasoline

With our refined fuels lease program, we can lease tanks of 500g, 1000g, and 2000g sizes for a fraction of the cost of purchasing a new tank.  The lease is a flat annual fee, with the commitment of filling that tank at least twice a year with CVA.  By leasing a tank, you are cutting down on costs while also giving your operation the necessary storage required to keep you up and running while reducing the chance of running out.  Fuel pumps are available for purchase from your Energy Advisor as well as delivery and installation. 

Propane—agriculture and residential

Along with leasing refined fuel tanks to our customers, we also have a lease program for propane tanks, both for agricultural and home heat needs.  Our propane tank sizes available for lease come in 500g and 1000g and a monitor install so our drivers can better serve your operation/home propane needs.  The propane tank monitors give a daily reading and when the tank reaches 30% full, it will send a notification to our driver to have it filled on an upcoming route.  Home heat propane tanks are on a fill as needed basis, and covers home and shop heating tanks.  Agricultural propane tanks cover irrigation, dryer, and commercial livestock building use and have a customer commitment of at least one fill a year (weather dependent).

Bulk Lubes—engine oil, hydraulic oil, drip oil, etc.

Not only do we lease tanks for both propane and refined fuels, but we have also seen a lot of success in our bulk oil tank lease program.  It’s perfect for having more oil storage on hand, and doing away with all the metal drum and plastic jug containers of packaged oils.  Our bulk oil tanks come in 120g, 150g, 275g, and 310g sizes and depending on your annual usage of a particular oil, can be a great alternative to having lubricants on hand, while again, minimizing costs and maximizing space in the shop where they are stored.  Our oil tanks can be stacked one on top of the other, on a gravity fed stand complete with a drip tray.  Or depending on the size and amount of product, have the option of adding an air pump available for purchase.   

DEF—Diesel Exhaust Fluid

Did you know that you can save anywhere from $0.50-$5.00/gal by buying lubricants in bulk compared to packaged? There are also significant savings with purchasing DEF in bulk as well, sometimes more than $1.00/gal than by purchasing at the pump.  CVA also has DEF tanks available for lease in 135g, 150g, 275g, and 330g sizes all for a minimal flat annual fee.
