Robust steel construction ensures...
Full descriptionSuitable for the safe storage of both derv (white diesel) or gas oil (red diesel), our extensive range of static steel bunded diesel tanks are used in agricultural, construction and industrial environments.
The bunded tank design provides you with peace of mind should the inner tank split. A bunded design offers enhanced protection for the oil and surrounding area as the inner tank holds the oil, while the outer bund provides secondary containment in the unlikely event of the inner tank failing.
The outer bund retains the contents by carrying a minimum 110% of the primary tank’s capacity to safeguard the immediate vicinity from costly diesel spillages. The effects of oil spills can have wide ranging impacts including harming human health and causing serious environmental damage to waterways, soils, plants and wildlife.
The tank is mounted on full width bearers to keep the tank from the ground where it could potentially create a corrosion point, therefore allowing for ventilation and ensuring the base is kept dry.
The lockable cabinet affords easy access to the tank and provides an additional security element alongside the strong steel material used in the tank’s construction. A well-designed steel tank is extremely hard to break into and reduces the risk of your fuel being stolen.
All sizes in our range come complete with a clock face contents gauge to monitor the level of your tank’s contents and an overfill alarm that alerts you if the tank has been, or is in danger of being filled beyond its capacity.
Please Note: All images that feature a pump are for illustration purposes only and are NOT included with this product. All static steel bunded diesel tanks are supplied with a 10-year warranty to cover manufacturing defects only.

Tank location - OFTEC guidelines
Oil tanks are required to comply with fire separation distances in order to adequately protect the stored fuel from a fire or heat source, that may originate nearby. Tanks should be sited:
If it is impossible to comply with these requirements, then a fire protection barrier with at least 30 minutes fire rating should be installed, please call us for more details. A minimum separation distance of 100mm is required between the tank and fire-rated barrier.
Tank base and support - OFTEC guidelines
The need to provide a suitable base and support for your oil tank is of paramount importance for reasons of both safety and environmental protection. The base should be:
If an oil storage tank is not adequately supported, the tank itself can be weakened leading to the eventual failure and escape of the stored fuel. During the life of an installation, an oil storage tank base will need to provide continual structural support, even though ground conditions may alter from season to season and year to year.
To comply with British Standards, the base material should be one of the following laid on a hardcore base to give an imperforate base:
The overall size of the base should be larger than the oil storage tank and any integral oil storage tank bund, so that when the oil storage tank is installed, the base has a clear projection of a minimum of 300mm around all sides of the oil storage tank.
