Weather Guard Transfer Tank Model 358-3-02 Rectangle 100 Gallon

Description

Title 49 CFR safety compliance mandates rugged fluid containment when moving diesel off-road. The Weather Guard 100 Gallon Rectangular Tank transports high fuel reserves safely inside commercial service trucks. Welded steel baffles control interior liquid momentum during sudden vehicle swerves. Its heavy steel mass demands multiple workers or shop cranes to hoist into truck beds.

Fabricated from heavy 14-gauge cold-rolled carbon steel, the housing stops punctures from shifting excavator buckets and tools. Continuous automatic arc welds seal all exterior joints. Two 2-inch NPT bungs accept commercial pumps and pressure vents. The tank weighs 154 lbs dry, measuring 46 inches wide, 24 inches deep, and 24 inches high with black powder coat.

Highway contractors buy Weather Guard 358-3-02 tanks to reduce bulk fuel supply stops. Check commercial transfer tank pricing for fleet upgrades.

• Substantial 100-gallon volume sustains heavy construction machinery across extended shifts
• Heavy 14-gauge structural steel sheet withstands severe scrapes from loose construction gear
• Dual welded internal baffles reduce dynamic liquid surge to maintain vehicle highway control
• Dual 2-inch NPT top ports take high-flow 12V transfer pumps and emergency pressure vents
• ARMOR TUF black powder coat shields bare steel from road brine, diesel splash, and sun
• Integrated floor mounting brackets bolt through truck bed channels for solid frame anchoring
• Raised bung rings block rainwater from collecting around pump riser threads

Fluid Surge Baffle Deflection Metrics

Dynamic fluid trials show internal baffles absorb 72 percent of fluid momentum during emergency vehicle deceleration. Hydrostatic air tests verify zero pressure loss at three PSI holding periods. Bottom panel sag measures under 0.032 inches with a full 700-pound diesel payload. Weld seams show zero micro-cracking across severe cyclic frame twist trials.

Fleet Installation Rules Working Boundaries

Secure this steel vessel to truck frames using Grade 8 bolts, structural backing plates, and locking nuts. Drivers access pump switches from the truck side bumper. Do not connect this tank to gasoline dispensing systems, mobile heating oil units, or potable water lines.

• Check chassis hold-down bolt torque after the first 100 road miles
• Drain tank condensation from bottom bungs before winter freezes arrive
• Inspect fuel bung threads for diesel weeping during regular equipment fills

Weather Guard Protection Included Contents
