Common Questions
Why can't I use my diesel pump for petrol?
Diesel pumps use standard electric motors that can generate sparks. Petrol vapour is flammable at room temperature — a spark from a non-EX-rated motor can cause ignition. Petrol pumps use intrinsically safe or explosion-proof motors certified to ATEX/IECEx standards.
What does ATEX rated mean?
ATEX is the European directive for equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres. ATEX-rated equipment is designed and certified to prevent ignition of flammable gases or vapours. In Australia, IECEx certification is the equivalent standard. Both are accepted for petrol handling applications.
Can I store petrol in a GO BOX tank?
Yes, but only in petrol-rated variants. Petrol-rated GO BOX tanks include flame arrestor venting, EX-rated fittings, and appropriate material compatibility. Not all sizes are available in petrol configuration — contact us for current availability.
Setting up petrol storage or dispensing?
