Description

Designed for properties that require dependable heating oil storage within a smaller installation footprint, this 900 litre steel bunded oil tank provides a secure and durable solution. Its narrow width makes it easier to position in tighter spaces while still offering practical storage capacity.

With robust steel construction and integrated secondary containment, the tank is built to store heating oil safely while helping reduce environmental risk.

What Is a Bunded Oil Tank?

A bunded oil tank features a double-layer construction designed to safely store heating oil. The inner tank contains the fuel while the outer bund acts as secondary containment intended to capture leaks or spills in the unlikely event of tank failure.

This type of tank is widely used for bunded oil tank for domestic heating installations because the additional containment helps protect surrounding areas from fuel contamination.

Construction and Design

This tank is manufactured from 2 mm steel construction using HRMS BS EN10025-S275JR material, providing strength and rigidity suitable for long-term oil storage.

The structure forms a durable steel bunded oil tank, with an inner tank enclosed within an outer steel bund. The exterior surface is finished with a rust-inhibiting primer and green gloss topcoat (green BS14C39), helping protect the tank from weather exposure.

The narrow width design also creates a space saver oil tank that can be installed where access or base space may be restricted.

Installation and Safety Considerations

The tank is designed to be installed on a level, non-combustible base that extends beyond the tank footprint. Proper siting and installation help ensure safe operation and compliance with installation guidance.

Lifting lugs and steel channel bearers assist with handling and positioning during installation. Standard connections provide fill, vent, gauge, outlet, and drain access points to support straightforward integration into heating oil systems.

Use an OFTEC-registered installer and maintain appropriate clearances from buildings, boundaries, and ignition sources as advised by the installer.

Capacity and Usage

With a capacity of 900 litres, this tank is well suited to smaller homes or properties with lower heating oil consumption.

A 900 litre oil tank provides practical fuel storage while maintaining a compact footprint, making it a suitable choice where installation space may be limited but secure oil storage is still required.

Durability and Longevity

Steel construction provides strong impact resistance and structural rigidity for heating oil storage. The protective coating system helps guard the tank against weather exposure, while the integrated bund provides additional protection against fuel leaks.

The tank is pressure tested beyond B.S. 799 standards and CE marked, providing assurance of manufacturing quality. A 10 year manufacturer warranty (terms apply) also supports long-term reliability.
