Description
This 1000 litre slimline plastic bunded oil tank is designed for domestic heating applications where access is tight but storage capacity still needs to be practical for a typical household. It combines compact dimensions with integrated secondary containment, offering a balanced solution between footprint and volume.
What This Tank Is
This is a rotationally moulded plastic oil storage tank manufactured from UV-stabilised MDPE. The inner tank stores fuel, while the outer bund provides integral spill containment in line with modern oil storage best practice.
As a 1000 litre oil tank, it’s designed to suit small to medium sized homes looking for a practical balance between refill frequency and available installation space.
Compliance & Installation Considerations
The 610 mm width makes this a slimline oil tank for narrow access areas such as side returns and restricted garden plots.
Install on a flat, level, non-combustible base that extends at least 300 mm beyond the tank on all sides. Maintain required clearances from buildings, boundaries and ignition sources, or fit a suitable fire barrier where needed.
Always use an APHC or OFTEC registered technician to protect your warranty and ensure compliance with building regulations and the Oil Storage Regulations. This model is commonly specified for bunded oil tank installation projects where upgrading from older single-skin units is required.
Capacity & Storage Suitability
Capacity: 1000 litres
A 1000 litre oil tank is a popular choice for domestic properties that require greater storage than entry-level models but still need a compact footprint. It supports kerosene (home heating oil) storage and is HVO compatible. If you plan to store HVO or blends, check system and accessory compatibility with your installer before ordering.
Construction & Durability
Rotationally moulded from UV-stabilised MDPE for long service life and low maintenance. The material will not rust or corrode, making it suitable for long-term outdoor siting.
The bunded, double-walled construction provides built-in secondary containment for environmental protection.
12-year manufacturer’s warranty for peace of mind
This model is regularly chosen for oil tank replacement UK projects where longevity and reduced maintenance are priorities.
