Oil Tanks
Bunded oil tanks offer a safe way to store a range of liquids, including heating oil, kerosene and diesel. With a tank within a tank design, bunded oil tanks ensure protection by preventing leaks if the inner tank is damaged. Whether you require a compact slimline bunded oil tank, a 1000-litre oil tank or even a 10000-litre tank we are sure to have something that meets your requirements.

Oil tank accessories available
For an additional cost, you can have a clock gauge or ultrasonic electronic gauge for your bunded oil tank. Choose between a convenient clock gauge for a simple visual check of your tank's level or an ultrasonic electronic gauge.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is it the law to have a bunded oil tank?
For non-domestic oil storage tanks that exceed 200 litres, it is a requirement for them to be bunded. This ensures that there is an additional protective layer against potential leaks. For specific guidelines regarding oil tanks in domestic settings, we recommend referring to OFTEC for further information.
Is a bunded oil tank double-skinned?
A bunded oil tank is a tank within a tank. This design ensures that if the inner tank splits or gets damaged, leaks are contained. By having this double-skin set-up there is an additional layer of security, ensuring that liquids are stored safely and any potential harmful impacts are minimised.
