Description

For homes and properties with higher heating oil usage, this 1350 litre plastic bunded oil tank provides a practical storage solution with increased capacity and dependable protection. Its durable polymer construction and double-layer design allow it to store heating oil securely while helping reduce the risk of environmental contamination.

Designed for outdoor installation, the tank offers reliable storage for kerosene heating systems while maintaining a manageable footprint around the property.

What Is a Bunded Oil Tank?

A bunded oil tank is designed with two layers of protection to safely store heating oil. The inner tank holds the fuel, while the outer bund acts as secondary containment designed to capture leaks or spills in the unlikely event of a tank failure.

This type of tank is commonly installed for domestic heating oil systems because it provides improved environmental protection and safer long-term storage.

Construction and Design

The tank is manufactured from UV-stabilised Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE), a durable material widely used for heating oil storage due to its resistance to corrosion and weather exposure.

The double-walled structure creates a secure plastic bunded oil tank that surrounds the internal fuel container with an outer protective layer. This integrated bund design helps prevent leaks from reaching the surrounding environment while maintaining a robust and long-lasting tank structure.

Installation and Safety Considerations

This tank is designed for outdoor installation on a suitable base, providing safe storage for kerosene heating systems used in residential properties. The integral bund provides secondary containment that helps reduce environmental risks associated with fuel storage.

A secure lockable lid helps protect the stored fuel from unauthorised access or tampering. For properties replacing older oil tanks, this model can serve as a practical bunded oil tank replacement, offering improved safety and durability compared with older single-skin tanks.

Capacity and Usage

With a capacity of 1350 litres, this tank offers increased storage for properties with higher heating oil consumption.

A 1350 litre oil tank is well suited to medium to larger homes that require dependable fuel storage throughout the heating season. The increased capacity allows homeowners to store a larger volume of fuel, helping reduce the frequency of oil deliveries.

Durability and Longevity

The MDPE construction used in this tank provides excellent resistance to corrosion, UV exposure, and weather conditions when installed outdoors. Unlike steel tanks, polymer oil tanks do not rust and generally require minimal maintenance.

The integrated bund provides an additional layer of protection for long-term reliability, helping ensure the tank performs safely throughout its lifespan. The tank is also backed by a 12-year warranty, providing added reassurance for homeowners investing in long-term heating oil storage.

This tank is particularly suitable for:

• Homes with higher heating oil consumption

• Properties upgrading from smaller oil storage tanks

• Installations requiring safe bunded fuel storage
