Steel Tank and Fabricating Corp. (STAFCO) manufactures generator base tanks designed to serve as both the support foundation and fuel storage source for standby and prime power systems. These tanks are built to integrate seamlessly beneath diesel generators and ensure uninterrupted fuel supply during operation.
Integrated Design for Space and Efficiency
Generator base tanks are engineered to:
- Serve as the structural base for mounted generators
- Provide long-duration fuel storage directly beneath the unit
- Maximize space by consolidating storage and support into one footprint
- Minimize installation time with pre-aligned connection points
Each tank is custom-fit to match the footprint, bolt pattern, and specifications of your generator unit. Note that the customer must provide the specs and drawings of the base tank.

- UL-142 listed single wall or double wall construction
- Carbon steel or stainless steel materials
- Factory-installed mounting pads or rails
- Integral emergency and normal venting
- Leak detection port and monitoring system (for double wall)
- Fuel supply and return connections pre-installed

Common Applications
These tanks are widely used for:
- Hospitals and medical facilities
- Data centers
- Municipal water and wastewater plants
- Telecom and broadcast sites

- Backup systems for critical infrastructure
They support both standby generators (used in emergencies) and prime power generators (used for continuous or remote power supply).
