Fuel Bowser Hire in Brighton, West Sussex
Need fuel bowser hire in Brighton? Coppard supplies 250 gallon bunded diesel bowsers from Southwick for suitable on-site fuel storage and plant refuelling across Brighton and West Sussex. Call 01273 596 979 with the machines being fuelled, expected usage and site arrangement and the team can confirm the most appropriate bowser option.
A fuel bowser should be planned around how the site will store and dispense diesel, not just the amount of fuel it can hold. Position, security, refuelling frequency, transport needs and the equipment being supplied all affect the practical set-up.
Coppard’s current range consists of a 250 gallon skid-mounted bunded bowser and a 250 gallon trailer-mounted bunded bowser with pump, hoses and nozzle.
Match Fuel Storage to the Site and Fleet
Start with how much diesel the working plant is likely to use and how often the bowser can be replenished. A site running several excavators, dumpers or generators can benefit from holding fuel close to the machines, but the storage arrangement still needs to suit the location and the expected turnover of diesel.
The bowser position should be chosen with access for refilling and dispensing in mind, while
reducing the chance of impact or accidental damage. Site drainage, vehicle routes and nearby
sensitive areas should be considered as part of the project’s own fuel-management arrangements.
Call 01273 596 979 with the expected fuel use and the machines being supplied and the Brighton team can confirm the available bowser configuration.
Current 250 Gallon Fuel Bowser Options
Coppard currently lists two 250 gallon bunded fuel-bowser configurations. The skid-mounted FuelCube is intended as a robust on-site storage option and has four-way forklift pockets for repositioning when empty.
The trailer-mounted 250 gallon bowser is listed with pump, hoses and nozzle and is designed for transportable fuel storage and refuelling. It is the appropriate version to describe when the page refers to those dispensing components.
Both current catalogue entries are listed at £40 per week, with no day rate shown online. Prices exclude VAT and non-account customers add 10%.

Fuel Bowser Hire for Brighton and West Sussex Projects
The Southwick depot can supply fuel bowsers for construction, civil engineering, groundwork, estate and other plant-led projects across Brighton and West Sussex where temporary diesel storage is required.
Pollution prevention matters on every site, and the practical considerations are the fuel quantity, bowser location, access for replenishment and the machines that need refuelling.
Coppard covers Brighton, Hove, Portslade, Southwick, Shoreham-by-Sea, Worthing and the wider West Sussex area.
Positioning, Security and Refuelling
Before delivery, identify where the bowser can sit without obstructing normal site traffic and where the fuel supplier or refuelling vehicle can reach it. The exact position should form part of the site’s own storage and pollution-control arrangements.
The trailer-mounted bowser includes dispensing equipment, so the hose and nozzle need to be protected from damage and secured when the bowser is not being used. The skid-mounted unit can be repositioned when empty using its four-way forklift pockets, subject to the lifting equipment and site arrangements being suitable.
Official GOV.UK storage guidance is covered in our FAQ below, though the customer remains responsible for complying with the rules that apply to the site.

Why Hire the Fuel Bowser with the Plant?
Fuel storage is usually there to support the working fleet. Hiring the bowser through the same Brighton operation as excavators, dumpers, generators and other diesel-powered equipment makes it easier to plan capacity around the machines actually on site.
The customer can discuss expected fuel usage, hire duration and whether a skid-mounted or trailer-mounted set-up better suits the project, rather than treating the bowser as an isolated item.
Call 01273 596 979 with the plant list and expected refuelling pattern and the Brighton team can check the current bowser options.

Frequently Asked Questions - Fuel Bowser Hire in Brighton
What size?
Coppard’s current dedicated fuel-bowser range is based on 250 gallon bunded units. Both the skid-mounted and trailer-mounted options are listed at this capacity.
Whether that is sufficient for the project depends on the number of machines, their fuel consumption, the hire duration and how often the bowser can be replenished. Give the Brighton team those details rather than choosing on capacity alone.
Pump included?
The current trailer-mounted 250 gallon fuel bowser is specifically listed with a pump, hoses and nozzle. The skid-mounted FuelCube product page does not currently make the same dispensing-kit claim.
Tell the Brighton team whether you need a mobile trailer bowser or a skid-mounted storage unit and they can confirm exactly what pump, hose and nozzle equipment is supplied with the available bowser.
How fast?
Same-day or next-day supply may be possible, but it depends on whether the skid-mounted or trailer-mounted bowser is required and on transport availability. Call 01273 596 979 with the site postcode and preferred dates and the Southwick team can confirm the earliest option.
Do I need a bunded fuel bowser for my site?
For many business sites, secondary containment is a legal requirement rather than simply a preference. The rules depend on the type, quantity and location of oil being stored and there are separate requirements for some agricultural fuel storage.
The GOV.UK oil-storage guidance for businesses states that the rules generally apply to business oil-storage containers of 201 litres or more, including mobile bowsers, and that secondary containment for a single mobile bowser must be able to hold 110% of the container’s capacity.
Coppard’s current 250 gallon bowsers are well above the 201 litre threshold, but the customer should still check the guidance that applies to the site and use the bowser in accordance with the required storage and pollution-control arrangements.
