Vetus fuel tanks and fittings

Tanks & Fittings

Basic tank type ATANK
Multiple purpose - material ideal for diesel (fresh water and waste water)
These tanks are made of thick walled high-grade (3/16” - 1/4”) polyethylene which is both rust-free and less prone to condensation compared with metal tanks. Due to the seamless construction of the tanks, leakage is impossible. Fittings can be installed wherever you choose and can be ordered separately. Tanks are supplied with diesel, fresh water and waste water labels.
