Description

For properties where space or access may be limited, this 1200 litre slimline plastic single skinned oil tank provides a practical heating oil storage solution without requiring a large installation footprint. Its narrow design allows the tank to be positioned neatly in tighter areas around the property while still providing dependable storage capacity.

Manufactured in the UK from durable polymer materials, the tank offers reliable fuel storage for domestic kerosene heating systems.

What Is a Single Skin Oil Tank?

A single skin oil tank stores heating oil within a single-walled container rather than a double-layer bunded design. These tanks are commonly used in installations where secondary containment is not required and suitable siting distances can be maintained.

A single skin oil tank provides a straightforward and cost-effective solution for heating oil storage while still delivering dependable performance when installed correctly.

Construction and Design

This tank is rotationally moulded in the UK using high-grade Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE), a durable material widely used for heating oil storage due to its strength and resistance to corrosion.

The design forms a robust plastic oil storage tank that is lightweight yet durable, helping ensure reliable long-term performance when installed outdoors. Its slimline construction allows the tank to fit into spaces where wider oil tanks may be difficult to position.

Installation and Safety Considerations

The narrow design makes this 1200 litre slimline plastic single skinned oil tank suitable for installations where space or access may be limited, such as narrow garden areas or alongside buildings. A fully lockable collar helps protect stored fuel from tampering or unauthorised access.

For installations where bunded tanks are not required, this tank can provide a practical slimline oil tank for narrow access, allowing homeowners to install heating oil storage even where access around the property is restricted.

Capacity and Usage

With a capacity of 1200 litres, this tank provides ample storage for many residential heating oil systems.

A 1200 litre oil tank can offer dependable storage for homes using kerosene heating systems while maintaining a manageable footprint around the property. Its slimline design allows homeowners to benefit from a useful storage capacity without requiring excessive installation space.

Durability and Longevity

The UV-stabilised MDPE construction helps protect the tank from weather exposure, corrosion, and long-term outdoor conditions. Unlike steel tanks, polymer oil tanks do not rust and generally require minimal ongoing maintenance.

The tank is backed by an industry leading 5 Year Warranty, providing added reassurance for homeowners investing in heating oil storage.
