Updated 27 June 2026 Australian farms typically burn diesel in unpredictable bursts — quiet for weeks, then a full day refuelling headers, tractors and utes back-to-back during seeding or harvest. Driving the fleet to a roadhouse costs an hour each way per vehicle. By the time the harvester needs a top-up, the only sensible answer is a portable tank on the back of a ute or trailer. Joey's diesel range covers single-ute farms through to depot-scale operations, all ship-ready with 12V pumps, automatic shut-off nozzles and a 12-month warranty. ## RECOMMENDED TANKS Why each one fits this use case.

Headers refuel in place during harvest. The pump pays for itself in a single season on fuel-card vs bulk diesel pricing. ### Cattle property, south-east QLD Two utes, a tractor and the side-by-side all refuelling weekly from a 400L pod parked next to the workshop. No more 40-minute round trips into town with a stack of jerry cans on the tray. ### Lifestyle block, regional VIC A 210L pod replaced six 20L jerry cans for a hobby farmer running a tractor, ride-on mower and 4WD. Refuels from a bulk delivery once a quarter, locks when nobody's home. Examples represent typical Joey customer scenarios.
