Day tanks, also known as Auxiliary tanks, are a secondary fuel tank located between the main fuel tanks and the pump/generators.
It is essential that day tanks are well maintained and regularly serviced as they are a key component in the successful functioning of the diesel generator system.
Day tanks need to be tested for internal alarm systems, damage, contamination, cleanliness and corrosion.
The ramifications of not maintaining day tanks are; should the tank fail, generators will be unable to function at full capacity for any extended period of time.
