2500 Litre Steel Bunded Oil Tank

This 2,500 litre steel bunded oil tank is a UK-manufactured double-skinned storage solution for heating oil, diesel and gas oil. The inner tank contains the fuel while the outer steel bund provides integral secondary containment designed to hold a minimum of 110% of the stated tank capacity.

With approximate overall dimensions of 1830 x 1250 x 1220 mm, this tank provides a robust steel storage option for replacement and new installations.

What Is a Steel Bunded Oil Tank?

A steel bunded oil tank uses a tank-within-a-tank design. The inner tank stores the fuel while the outer steel bund provides secondary containment if the inner tank leaks, helping reduce the risk of fuel reaching the surrounding environment.

Construction and Design

This model is fabricated in steel and made to order in the United Kingdom. Standard connections include fill, vent and bottom-outlet provision, with lifting and internal bracing appropriate to the tank design. The standard finish is Holly Bush Green (RAL 14C39), with alternative colours available by quotation.

Installation, Maintenance and Guarantee

The tank should be installed on a level, load-bearing base suitable for the combined weight of the tank and its contents. General guidance recommends a concrete, paving-stone or stonework base extending at least 300 mm beyond the tank on all sides.

Installation requirements vary by site, so the final installation should follow current regulations and guidance and be completed by a suitably qualified installer.

Steel tanks should be inspected regularly and maintained to protect the coating. Manufacturer guidance recommends periodic repainting with a suitable protective coating, approximately every 18 months.

Do not arrange installation work or a fuel delivery until the tank has arrived and been checked.
