How long will a bowser last?

As bowsers are typically composed of a robust layer of steel, they typically last for many years, with some manufacturers offering warranties of up to 10 years on towable bowsers. In order to ensure your bowser lasts for as long as it is intended to, it’s important to conduct regular inspection and maintenance.

The tank itself should be inspected for any signs of damage, wear, or leaks on a regular basis. When transporting fuel, no water should be present inside the tank – this can allow for the growth of corrosion-causing microbes. When not in use, the bowser should ideally be kept away from areas in which it will be exposed to hot or extreme conditions.

Paint may be reapplied on a semi-regular basis to assist in preventing corrosion.
