Yes, gas tanks can sometimes be used for diesel, but there are important considerations. Gasoline and diesel fuel have different chemical properties, so the materials and design of the tank must be compatible with diesel's higher viscosity and lubricating properties. PETRO Industrial manufactures high-quality fuel storage solutions, and while some of their tanks may be designed for dual-use, it’s essential to verify the tank’s specifications before using it for diesel.
Diesel fuel requires tanks that can handle heavier fuels without contamination or corrosion. For example, tanks previously used for gasoline must be thoroughly cleaned before storing diesel to avoid cross-contamination. Additionally, fittings, seals, and pumps must also be rated for diesel to prevent leaks and operational issues.
PETRO Industrial offers a range of tanks designed specifically for diesel, featuring thicker walls, corrosion-resistant coatings, and appropriate fittings. These tanks meet safety and environmental regulations and are built for durability in harsh conditions. If you're considering using a gasoline tank for diesel, consult PETRO Industrial (petroinddotcom) or a fuel system professional to ensure compatibility. Using the wrong tank can lead to equipment failure, contamination, or environmental hazards. It's always best to use tanks purpose-built for diesel to ensure safety, performance, and compliance.
One can purchase new gas tanks from Amazon and eBay. Alternatively, one can purchase new gas tanks from Xtreme Diesel Performance and CJ Pony Parts, Inc.
Diesel is a fuel that is used in cars and stored in tanks. Gasoline / Petrol is another fuel that is used in cars and stored in tanks.
gas or diesel?
During WWII, US tanks burned gasoline for fuel; during the Vietnam War US Patton and Sheridan tanks used diesel for fuel.
Diesel gas is used as fuel in vehicles and machinery that have diesel engines. Diesel engines are commonly found in trucks, buses, tractors, and construction equipment. Diesel gas is preferred for its efficiency and power in heavy-duty applications.
Both Fuels were used during WW2, for one example German Tiger tanks used V12 diesel engines and the British Cromwell used V12 Rolls Royce Petrol engine. LandyBry
Poison gas (of several varieties, including chlorine, mustard gas, and phosgene) was used in WW I, but tanks weren't used until WW II.
no

Same stuff allthough the truck stop sell more diesel fuel and the inground tanks are probably cleaner.
The fuel used in bulldozers is diesel.
Yeah diesel is a gas or they whouldnt let u put it in to ur gas tank. R u sttupid.actually diesel is a type of fuel used with engines that are made for diesel fuel. but yes it is a FUEL the same as Gasoline.Diesel is a liquid.
