About AlumiTank

American-built fuel tanks. Backed by legacy, craftsmanship, and real service.

Who We Are

The AlumiTank story began with a need — and a vision. Founded in 1989 by Bob and Terry Kirkpatrick, AlumiTank was born from their experience in the trucking industry and a belief that they could build a better, more accessible aluminum fuel tank.

What started as late nights and hand-built equipment has grown into a trusted name in aluminum fuel tank manufacturing, serving everyone from owner-operators to some of the largest logistics and rail companies in North America.

Our roots go deeper: Kirkpatrick Trucking was founded in 1938 by Seth Kirkpatrick, and that dedication to trucking has stayed in the family. Today, the same grit and pride drives our team of welders, engineers, and sales professionals to deliver unmatched quality and support.

What We Do

We manufacture standard and custom aluminum fuel tanks, mounting systems, and accessories, all proudly built in the USA. Whether it’s a direct replacement or a one-off custom job, we offer solutions that fit. Every product is built to meet FMCSA standards and quality tested before leaving our shop.

Built to Spec. Backed by Warranty.

Every tank we build is pressure for leaks, inspected for craftsmanship, and drop-tested to meet the structural integrity requirements set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).

Our 1-Year Limited Warranty Includes:

• Coverage for defects in material or workmanship for one year from the purchase date
• Repair or replacement at no charge (excluding inbound freight)
• Support for all AlumiTank-manufactured parts, including tanks, straps, steps, and accessories
• Warranty claims managed by our internal team for quick and fair resolution

Inbound freight for inspection is the responsibility of the customer. To start a claim, please email warranty@alumitank.com.

Shipping & Pickup

Tanks are carefully packaged in protective cardboard, secured to a pallet, and shipped via common carrier. Local customers are welcome to pick up their tanks directly from our Harvard, Illinois facility.

More Than Tanks

We’re not just a manufacturer — we’re your partner in uptime. We understand the needs of the trucking, rail, and logistics industries because we came from them. That’s why we focus on speed, precision, and personalized service. When you call AlumiTank, you get a person — not a phone tree.
