Bunded diesel tank prices in Australia start from $2,375 for our smallest SmartBund™ model, the SB400. Meanwhile, single-skin diesel tanks start from $2,850. Because AS1940:2017 caps self-bunded diesel storage at 10,000 litres, the real ceiling for diesel sits at the SB10000, regardless of the larger tank sizes available in the range for other uses. Here’s exactly what you’ll pay, model by model, and what drives the difference.
Bunded Diesel Tank Prices: The Full SmartBund™ Range
| Model | Capacity | Configuration | Price | Freight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SB400 | 400L | Basic | $2,375 | $325 |
| SB700 | 700L | Basic | $3,575 | $325 |
| SB1250 | 1,250L | Basic | $4,350 | $325 |
| SB1500 | 1,500L | Basic | $5,250 | $325 |
| SB2500 | 2,500L | Basic | $6,350 | $325 |
| SB3000 | 3,000L | Basic | $7,250 | $325 |
| SB3000CAB | 3,000L | Bundle | $10,550 | $325 |
| SB5000 | 5,000L | Basic | $8,950 | $325 |
| SB5000CAB | 5,000L | Bundle | $12,250 | $325 |
| SB10000 | 10,000L | Basic | $11,250 | $325 |
| SB10000CAB | 10,000L | Bundle | $14,450 | $325 |
You’ll notice two price points for the 3,000L, 5,000L and 10,000L sizes. First, the Basic configuration gives you the tank, bund, camlock and fill pipe. Second, the Bundle configuration (marked CAB) adds a lockable cabinet with a pump, filter, meter and level indicator, which is why it costs more — not because the tank itself changed.
Single-Skin Diesel Tank Prices: The Alternative Range
| Model | Capacity | Price | Freight |
|---|---|---|---|
| SL1180UR | 1,180L | $2,850 | $195 |
| SL2000UR | 2,000L | $3,250 | $195 |
| SL3000UR | 3,000L | $3,450 | $195 |
| SL4000UR | 4,000L | $4,550 | $195 |
| SL5000UR | 5,000L | $5,250 | $195 |
| R1555UR | 1,555L | $3,195 | $195 |
| R2350UR | 2,350L | $3,650 | $195 |
| R3000 | 3,000L | $3,950 | $195 |
| R5000UR | 5,000L | $4,950 | $195 |
| R7500UR | 7,500L | $5,950 | $195 |
| R10000 | 10,000L | $7,250 | $195 |
These prices don’t include bunding, so factor in a compliant bund separately if your site requires one. Because the diesel-eligible cap still applies here, the R10000 at $7,250 is the largest single-skin tank you can legally use for diesel — the R13500 and R22700UR exist in this range too, though only for AdBlue™ and chemical storage above the diesel limit.
Why the $45,750 Figure Isn’t a Diesel Price
If you’ve seen our SmartBund™ range advertised up to $45,750, that’s the price at the top of the full range, including the 20,000L and 32,000L models. We build those two sizes for AdBlue™ and non-flammable chemical storage only. Because they’re not diesel-compliant under AS1940:2017, the SB10000 is your real ceiling if you’re specifically pricing up diesel storage, not the headline range figure.
This is a common point of confusion, and it’s worth clearing up before you start comparing quotes. In short, the diesel-eligible portion of our SmartBund™ range runs from the SB400 through to the SB10000CAB, not the full advertised span.
What Drives Bunded Diesel Tank Pricing: Basic vs Full Bundle
You can configure every SmartBund™ bunded diesel tank two ways, and this is where most of the price difference between two orders of the same tank size comes from:
Basic — Tank & Bund: the bunded diesel tank and integrated bund, plus a 50mm camlock and fill pipe. So it suits sites that don’t need a pump or cabinet as part of the install.
Bundle — Tank, Bund & Cabinet: everything in Basic, plus a lockable cabinet housing a pump, filter, meter and level indicator. Most commercial and industrial diesel storage sites choose this setup, since it adds security and makes day-to-day refuelling straightforward.
Because the Bundle option is a meaningfully different price to Basic, not a small add-on, it’s worth deciding between the two early to avoid a surprise later.
Delivering Bunded Diesel Tanks Across Australia
We deliver bunded diesel tanks factory-direct from our Alstonville facility in Northern Rivers NSW, across NSW, QLD, VIC, ACT and SA. Since site access and delivery zone both affect the cost, we quote freight against your specific address. As a result, SmartBund™ tanks carry a $325 freight fee to standard zones, while single-skin models carry $195.
As the online sales division of Duraplas Industries, we manufacture every bunded diesel tank in-house, not import and relabel it, and back it with a 5-year commercial warranty.
What Else to Budget For With a Bunded Diesel Tank
The tank price is the headline number, but it isn’t the whole cost of getting a compliant bunded diesel tank running on site. So here are a few things worth allowing for upfront:
- Delivery assistance for larger models. Smaller bunded diesel tanks are straightforward to place. Larger models — particularly the SB5000 and SB10000 — need more hands and clearer site access on delivery day. Confirm this with our team before your delivery date so it doesn’t hold up the job.
- Electrical and pump setup. If you’ve chosen the Bundle configuration, the pump and cabinet come included, but running power to the tank location, if it doesn’t already exist on site, is a separate electrical job.
- Signage and spill response gear. Most sites storing diesel need compliant signage and a basic spill kit on hand, regardless of tank supplier. These are inexpensive but easy to forget when you’re focused on the tank order itself.
- A level, stable base. Like any bunded diesel tank, a SmartBund™ unit needs a properly prepared base, so allow for this in your site planning, especially for the larger models.
None of these costs are large individually, but together they’re the difference between a bunded diesel tank landing on site and a fully operational, compliant setup.
How Bunded Diesel Tank Prices Compare Across the Market
If you’re comparing quotes, it helps to know where the broader market sits. For example, bunded diesel tanks from other Australian suppliers commonly range from around $3,000–$4,000 for compact 500L self-bunded units, up through $10,000–$13,000 for tanks in the 3,000–4,000L bracket, and $15,000 or more for 6,000L and above. Since pricing varies supplier to supplier based on build quality, bund design and what’s included in the base price, our SmartBund™ range sits broadly in line with, or ahead of, that market at equivalent capacities.
Comparing on tank price alone can be misleading, though, because the details that matter are whether the tank genuinely integrates the bund, what warranty backs the tank, and whether the quote includes fittings like the camlock and fill pipe as standard. A lower headline price sometimes means a more basic build, or a supplier might price extras separately once you’re already committed.
Frequently Asked Questions: Bunded Diesel Tank Prices
How much does a bunded diesel tank cost in Australia?
SmartBund™ self-bunded diesel tanks range from $2,375 for the SB400 to $14,450 for the SB10000CAB Bundle. Meanwhile, single-skin diesel tanks range from $2,850 for the SL1180UR to $7,250 for the largest diesel-compliant model, the R10000.
What’s included in the price?
A Basic SmartBund™ setup includes the tank, integrated bund, camlock and fill pipe. A full Bundle adds a lockable cabinet with pump, filter, meter and level indicator, at a meaningfully higher price than Basic. In contrast, single-skin prices cover the tank only and don’t include bunding.
Is single-skin cheaper than SmartBund™?
At equivalent capacities, yes — a single-skin R10000 costs $7,250 against $11,250 for the SmartBund™ SB10000 Basic. But because SmartBund™ includes bunding built into the tank, comparing the two on price alone misses the cost of adding a compliant bund separately to a single-skin tank.
Does price change based on which state I’m in?
The tank price itself doesn’t change by state, but freight does. We quote delivery against your specific address across NSW, QLD, VIC, ACT and SA.
Why do some SmartBund™ tanks cost far more than others in the same range?
The full range spans 400 litres to 32,000 litres, but only tanks up to 10,000 litres are diesel-compliant under AS1940:2017. So we build the larger, more expensive models in the range for AdBlue™ and chemical storage, not diesel.
What other costs should I budget for beyond the tank price?
Allow for a level base, signage and spill response gear, and electrical work if you’re running power to a pump for the first time. Larger tanks also need extra hands on delivery day, so confirm this with our team before your delivery date.
How do SmartBund™ prices compare to other bunded diesel tanks on the market?
Broadly in line with, or better value than, the wider market at equivalent capacities, but compare more than the headline price. Check whether the tank genuinely integrates the bund, what warranty applies, and whether fittings are included as standard before deciding on price alone.
