New Fuel Service Trailer

By: Dan Miller

You may have seen the low-profile Thunder Creek fuel trailers out in the field feeding fuel-hungry tractors and combines. Thunder Creek has upped its game with a new Fuel Service Trailer (FST) line.

The FST line is three, fuel service trailers with the capacity for 500, 750 and 990 gallons of diesel fuel. The tanks are built with seven-gauge steel and double welded. The tanks include full height, offset baffles. Baffles improve trailer stability as they control the “slosh” of the fuel in the tanks as the trailer is pulled down the road or across a field.

The FST units top out at six feet in height and are seven feet wide. The FST500 is 13 feet long and the FST990 is 17 feet long.

More, the FSTs are of a modular design, meaning that options such as a 100-gallon DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) delivery system, with a pump and 35-foot delivery hose, and a rear utility box can be added as need. The trailers also can be fitted with a solar battery charger and WorkSight light tower, with its own battery. The light unit sends light out 75 feet out over dark fields.
