What Kind of Bowser Do I Need?

To find the right towable bowser for your needs, consider these key factors:

  • Capacity: Determine how much fuel you need to transport.
  • Fuel type: Ensure the bowser is compatible with the fuel you’re transporting (e.g. petrol or diesel).
  • Site-only bowser: If you only use the fuel browser on-site, you don’t need a highway-compliant model.
  • Lifting points: If you need to move the tank with a crane or forklift, it must have proper lifting points.
  • Regulations: Confirm the unit meets all applicable road safety and environmental protection standards.

How Does a Fuel Bowser Work?

The key features of a towable diesel bowser include:

  • Steel bunded tank mounted on a towable chassis for mobility
  • A pumping system (present in many models)
  • Dispensing nozzle for safe diesel transfer

This is how a fuel bowser works:

  • Fill the tank through the designated access vent.
  • To dispense, open the supply valve and connect the hose.
  • Transfer fuel using the pump or pump connection.
