The Tuffa FirePro 1000 litre steel fire rated bunded oil tank is a compact, heavy-duty oil storage solution designed for properties where fire protection, durability, and regulatory compliance are key considerations. Manufactured in the UK from high-quality mild steel, this tank is engineered for long-term use in both domestic and commercial heating applications.

With a capacity of 1000 litres, it is particularly well suited to replacement installations where space is limited or where existing tanks no longer meet current requirements.

Fire Rated Oil Tank with 30-Minute Protection

This 30 minute fire rated oil tank features an integrally fitted fire protection system built into the tank structure. In the event of an external fire, the system is designed to delay heat transfer to the stored fuel, providing an additional level of protection compared with standard non-fire-rated oil tanks.

The FirePro range is designed to meet the functional requirements of Building Regulations where fire-protected oil storage is required. As with all oil tank installations, final suitability and compliance should be confirmed by a qualified installer based on site conditions.

Steel Bunded Construction for Enhanced Safety

As a fully bunded unit, this fire rated steel oil tank consists of a primary inner tank and an outer steel bund designed to contain leaks, spills, or overfilling. All FirePro fire-protected tanks are bunded as standard, providing integral environmental protection without the need for separate secondary containment.

The mild steel construction offers excellent strength and impact resistance, making this model a popular choice for exposed locations or demanding environments.

Compact Design for Restricted Installations

The compact footprint allows the tank to be positioned neatly alongside buildings or within outbuildings where space is restricted. In appropriate circumstances and subject to installer assessment, the Tuffa FirePro oil tank can provide an alternative form of compliance to constructed fire barriers, potentially reducing the need for additional building work.

Integrated channel runners and a central lifting eye are included to assist with handling and positioning during installation.

Installation Advice

Fits a simple prefab base: typically six slabs (4 × 900 × 600 mm and 2 × 600 × 600 mm). Always use an OFTEC-registered installer, set the tank on a level, non-combustible base and follow site-specific guidance for siting and clearances. Your installer will confirm whether 30 or 60 minutes fire protection is required.
