Description

The 1150 litre fire rated bunded oil tank from the Tuffa FirePro range is designed for domestic heating oil storage where fire protection, environmental safety, and space efficiency are essential. Manufactured from durable, corrosion-resistant polyethylene, it provides integral 30-minute fire resistance alongside a fully bunded design, offering a compliant alternative to standard oil tanks without the need for constructed fire barriers in suitable installations.

Fast UK Delivery for Time-Critical Installations

This model is available with a typically short 5–7 working day lead time, making it particularly suitable for emergency replacements, failed inspections, or projects operating under tight deadlines. While many comparable fire-protected tanks are subject to extended lead times, this tank offers a practical solution when waiting weeks is not an option.

30-Minute Integral Fire Protection

The tank incorporates a 30-minute integral fire protection barrier built directly into the structure. In the event of a nearby fire, this barrier is designed to delay heat transfer to the stored fuel, offering increased protection compared with non-fire-rated oil tanks. The FirePro fire protection technology has been awarded Local Authority Building Control Assured Status, supporting compliant installations when assessed by a qualified installer.

Bunded Construction for Environmental Safety

As a fully bunded oil tank, this unit features an integrated outer containment layer designed to help protect against leaks, spills, and overfilling during normal use. All FirePro tanks are bunded as standard, providing built-in environmental protection without the need for additional secondary containment systems.

Slimline Design and Installation Flexibility

The slimline profile allows the tank to be positioned discreetly alongside buildings or within restricted spaces. In suitable circumstances and subject to site conditions, the fire-protected construction may provide an alternative form of compliance to constructed fire barriers, potentially reducing the need for additional building work. Final positioning and compliance should always be confirmed by a qualified installer.

Outlet Configuration and Supplied Fittings

This model is supplied as a bottom outlet bunded oil tank with a 1″ BSP bottom outlet connection. A comprehensive fittings package is included to support safe filling, monitoring, and operation, covering both manual and electronic level monitoring.

Fuel Compatibility and Materials

Manufactured from recyclable polyethylene plastic, the tank is resistant to corrosion and suitable for long-term outdoor use. It is compatible with standard heating oil as well as HVO fuel and HVO kerosene blends, supporting lower-carbon fuel options where available.
