DieselCaptain 1000L Ball Baffle FAQ
Which pump kit should I choose for 1000 litres?
50 L/min suits routine refuelling, 60 L/min suits more frequent or higher-volume use, and 80 L/min is the fastest option for operators who want to minimise time spent refuelling.
Does the ball baffle add much weight to the tank?
The baffle system adds some weight over a non-baffled equivalent, but it's built into the tank's overall listed weight, so there's nothing extra to account for when planning transport.
What's the benefit of this size over the 800L DieselCaptain?
The extra 200 litres gives more diesel on hand between refills, useful for operators covering larger properties or longer job runs.
Is the pump protected from weather and dust?
Yes, all pump kit options sit under a weatherproof, pad-lockable cover.
