Belly Tank

ISTIQ Belly Tanks, also known as sub-base fuel tanks, are designed to support generator sets while providing integrated diesel fuel storage beneath the genset. They are commonly used together with acoustic genset canopies, acoustic enclosures, and containerized generator systems where space, structural support, and fuel storage must be properly coordinated.

A belly tank is not just a fuel container placed under a generator. It must be designed with proper structural strength to carry the genset load, fuel weight, vibration, and operating conditions. The tank design should also consider fuel capacity, refilling access, inspection points, drainage, venting, lifting, mounting arrangement, and long-term safety.

For acoustic genset applications, the belly tank must work together with the full enclosure system. The tank height can affect the overall genset package height, access for maintenance, cable entry, pipe routing, airflow path, and shipping arrangement. A poorly coordinated belly tank can create problems during installation, operation, or servicing.

ISTIQ provides belly tank solutions that are practical, robust, and suitable for generator set installations in industrial facilities, commercial buildings, factories, data centers, utilities, temporary power systems, and containerized genset projects.

When properly designed and integrated, a belly tank helps create a more compact and organized genset package while supporting safe fuel storage and reliable generator operation.
