Simplify your fuel, propane, and oil storage with CVA's Energy Equipment Lease Program
Sep 25, 2025
Are you running out of space for on-farm fuel storage? Do you find yourself managing too many propane tanks, oil drums, or plastic jugs of packaged lubricants? With harvest quickly upon us, storage solutions become critical - not only for efficiency but also for peace of mind. Having the right tanks in place ensures your equipment and home have the energy supply they need, without the stress of running short.
Yet, with the costs of steel steadily rising, purchasing new tanks outright can be a major investment. That's where CVA's Energy Equipment Lease Program comes in. Instead of paying thousands of dollars upfront for new tanks, CVA makes it easy and affordable by offering leases for refined fuel, propane, lubricants, and DEF tanks - all at a flat annual fee. This program helps operations of all sizes secure the storage they need while keeping costs predictable and manageable.
Refined fuels: Clear & Dyed Diesel, Gasoline
For many producers, refined fuels are the backbone of daily operations. With our lease program, you can choose tanks in 500g, 1000g or 2000g sizes - big enough to keep your farm running but without the steep price tag of purchasing outright.
Leasing a refined fuel tank means:
- A flat annual fee that keeps budgeting simple
- A commitment of just two fills per year with CVA
- Delivery and installation handled by our team
- Optional fuel pumps available for purchase through your Energy Advisor
This approach reduces the risk of running out of fuel during critical times and ensures you always have storage capacity on-site.
Propane: Agricultural and residential
Propane is a versatile energy source, essential for both farming operations and residential heating. CVA leases 500g and 1000g propane tanks to meet the needs of both. Each tank comes with a monitor that tracks daily levels. Once your tank reaches 30% full, the monitor automatically notifies our drivers, scheduling a delivery before you ever need to make a call.
- Agriculture propane: Ideal for irrigation, grain dryers, and livestock buildings. Customers commit to at least one fill per year, though actual usage is often higher depending on weather conditions.
- Residential propane:Perfect for home and shop heating. Tanks are filled on an as-needed basis to keep your family comfortable all season long.
This system not only ensures reliability but also takes the worry out of propane management.
Bulk Lubes: Engine Oil, Hydraulic Oil and More
Managing lubricants doesn't have to mean shelves of messy drums and stacks of plastic jugs. CVA's bulk oil tank lease program streamlines while cutting down on packaging waste.
Tanks are available in 120g, 150g, 275g, and 310g sizes, making it easy to match storage capacity to your operation's needs. These tanks can be stacked on gravity-fed stands with drip trays for a clean, organized shop. For larger setups, an air pump (available for purchase) makes dispensing even more efficient.
By moving to bulk lubricants, many customers save anywhere from $0.50 to $5.00 per gallon compared to packaged oils, all while freeing up space and reducing clutter.
DEF: Diesel Exhaust Fluid
DEF is another area where buying in bulk pays off. Compared to purchasing at the pump, savings can exceed $1.00 per gallon. CVA makes this easy with DEF tanks in 135g, 150g, 275g, and 330g sizes, all available for a minimal flat annual fee.
Like our other lease options, these tanks are delivered and installed by our team, so you can start saving immediately without the hassle of figuring out logistics on your own.

- Convenience: delivery, installation, and monitoring handled by professionals
