1100 Litre Steel Bunded Oil Tank

Description

For properties requiring dependable heating oil storage within a compact footprint, this 1100 litre steel bunded oil tank provides a strong and practical solution. Its narrow width makes it easier to position in areas where installation space is limited while still providing useful storage capacity.

The combination of robust steel construction and integrated bund containment allows heating oil to be stored safely while helping reduce environmental risks.

What Is a Bunded Oil Tank?

A bunded oil tank uses a double-layer design to safely store heating oil. The inner tank holds the fuel while the outer bund forms secondary containment designed to capture leaks or spills in the unlikely event of tank failure.

Because of this additional containment, bunded oil tanks are widely used for domestic heating systems where environmental protection and safe fuel storage are important considerations.

Construction and Design

This 1100 litre steel bunded oil tank is manufactured from 2 mm steel shell using HRMS BS EN10025-S275JR material, providing strong structural rigidity and durability.

The construction forms a durable steel oil storage tank with an internal tank enclosed by an outer bund layer for secondary containment. The tank is finished with a rust-inhibiting primer and green gloss topcoat (green BS14C39), helping protect the steel structure from weather exposure.

The narrow footprint design also creates a practical space saver oil tank, allowing it to be installed in tighter spaces where wider tanks may not fit.

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 and reliable operation.

Lifting lugs and steel channel bearers support easier handling and positioning during installation. Standard connections are provided for fill, vent, gauge, outlet, and drain functions to allow straightforward connection to heating oil systems.

For properties upgrading older oil storage systems, this model can serve as a practical bunded oil tank replacement with modern containment protection.

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

Capacity and Usage

With a capacity of 1100 litres, this tank provides practical heating oil storage for many residential properties.

A 1100 litre oil tank is often suitable for homes with moderate heating oil consumption while still maintaining a compact installation footprint for locations where space may be limited.

Durability and Longevity

Steel construction provides strong impact resistance and long-term structural strength for heating oil storage. The rust-inhibiting primer and protective gloss coating help protect the tank against outdoor weather exposure.

The tank is pressure tested beyond B.S. 799 standards and CE marked to demonstrate manufacturing quality and durability. It is also supplied with a 10 year manufacturer warranty (terms apply) for added reassurance.
