Full descriptionThis bunded oil storage tank from Tuffa comes with a substantial 3500 litre (769 Gallons) capacity and is ideal for domestic, commercial and industrial oil storage.
It is bunded meaning it is designed as a tank within a tank. This offers extra protection for the oil and for the environment around it. The inner tank holds the oil while the outer tank offers leak-protection and holds 110% of the total amount of liquid being stored.
In the unlikely event of the inner tank splitting, the outer tank retains the contents and protects the surrounding area from potentially-costly pollution. The strong, protective layer provided by the bund makes the tank stronger for reliable oil storage as well as inhibiting the build-up of rainwater and debris.
Features
It is manufactured in the UK from a premium grade of Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE) which is recyclable, rust resistant and UV stabilised.
Users will benefit from the Watchman Sonic gauge which remotely monitors the amount of fuel in your oil storage tank and wirelessly transmits the reading to an indoors receiver meaning you don’t have to go out in the cold to establish your fuel level. When the level is below 10 per cent, the fuel dispensing pump symbol appears on the receiver as a reminder to order more oil.
The tank is also equipped with an automatic shut-off overfill prevention device which prevents any further fluid from being dispensed once the maximum capacity has been reached. The lockable hinged flap lid affords easy access to the tank and provides an additional security element.
This tank comes supplied with a 10 year warranty for your peace of mind.
Optional Extras
An optional lockable cabinet is available which comes equipped with a battery bund and high-quality overfill alarm which is designed to detect overfill, low liquid levels and provide an early warning of a breach in the bund layer of the tank. An upgraded % hydrostatic gauge is also included.
Specification
Installation
All Bunded Oil Tanks are fully compliant with all applicable requirements contained within The Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001, The Water Environment (Oil Storage) (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and comparable requirements throughout the United Kingdom.

Please note that all Bunded Oil Tanks should only be installed by a suitably competent person e.g. an OFTEC Registered Oil Tank Installation Technician in accordance with supplied instructions and statutory requirements. To find your local OFTEC Registered Oil Tank Technician, please click here.
What is a bunded oil tank?
A bunded tank uses a "tank within a tank" design. The inner tank is used to store the oil which is then enclosed in a secondary container which acts as the bund. The bund will protect your oil in the event of the inner tank splitting and has the ability to hold 110% of the inner tank's contents. They are considered to be the safest way to store heating oil and have become the industry standard with OFTEC installers.
What materials are used in their construction?
Tuffa tanks are manufactured in the UK from tough, UV stabilised and recyclable polyethylene. This has excellent chemical and impact resistance properties, making it ideal for external fuel storage.
When installed, how is the tank filled with oil?
Each Tuffa Bunded Oil Tank is supplied with a 2″ BSP Fill Connection with cap and chain. When your oil supplier arrives at your location, they will simply connect their fill pipe to this inlet and dispense the oil into your tank. It provides a safe and secure fill point for your tank.
How can I check and monitor the amount of oil in the tank?
Tanks in this range come fitted with either a float level gauge or Watchman Sonic Electronic Gauge. All tanks supplied with a float level gauge can be upgraded to a Watchman Sonic gauge.
The float level gauge uses a float connected to a level display which indicates the fuel level along with a secondary measure of the fuel quantity in the clear inner tank.
The Watchman Sonic gauge uses a tank mounted transmitter which wirelessly transmits the reading to an indoors receiver meaning you don’t have to go out in the cold to establish your fuel level.
