Oilfield Vacuum & DOT Tanks

Many locations in the San Juan Basin of Northern New Mexico are too difficult to access by transport trailer, so most liquids transport is done by truck tank. The standard design is an 80 bbl.

Many locations in the San Juan Basin of Northern New Mexico are too difficult to access by transport trailer, so most liquids transport is done by truck tank. The standard design is an 80 bbl. Vacuum Tank mounted on a 60,000 GVW Truck, but the brutal high desert oilfield requires everything to be overbuilt and designed for severe use.

Largo Tank & Equipment, Inc. has been manufacturing tanks since 1987 for exactly that kind of application, and we maintain our reputation by over-engineering and requiring high tolerance quality control on every product that rolls out of our shop.

The tanks have liquid cooled vacuum pumps, full internal baffles (much stronger than rings), neoprene sill pads with interlocking tank mounts, tire chain racks, and LED lights, along with dozens of standard features requested by our customers to make them more user friendly. We’ve also worked tirelessly to eliminate stress points, examining all tanks that come in for service and checking for issues.

DOT Tanks

Designed for the San Juan Basin oilfield

Operating in the oil and gas field known as the San Juan Basin is tough. Conditions and terrain are about as bad as it gets in the business. Most locations are too difficult to access by transport trailer, so most liquids transport is done by vacuum truck tank.

Producers in the San Juan Basin became concerned that as shippers, they were responsible for the hazardous materials being transported by non-spec vacuum trucks off their locations and pipelines. Non-Spec Tanks are not rated for hauling hydrocarbons, crude and chemicals, as they don't meet the stringent guidelines of DOT 407 requirements. Largo Tank stepped up to the plate and designed a DOT407 truck tank that can withstand the rigors of the oilfield and answer the safety concerns of the producers. The tank is designed to transport natural gas liquids, crude oil, contaminated water, methanol, etc. Built to the extremely stringent ASME code, the units typically have a capacity of 80 bbls., and are built out of high strength pressure vessel plate.

Our newest design has traveled on trucks more than 30 million miles from Wyoming to Wolf Creek Pass to the Permian Basin of Texas without having a single tank failure.
