Description

For properties requiring reliable heating oil storage with a more compact visual footprint, this 1350 litre plastic single skinned oil tank provides a practical and straightforward solution. Its wider, lower design helps the tank sit discreetly within outdoor spaces while still delivering substantial fuel capacity.

Lightweight construction also makes the tank easier to manoeuvre during installation compared with heavier oil storage 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 where installation conditions allow appropriate siting distances from buildings, drains, and water sources.

A single skin oil tank for domestic heating can provide a cost-effective and reliable storage solution when installed in suitable locations.

Construction and Design

This tank is manufactured from durable polymer materials designed to withstand outdoor conditions and resist corrosion. The structure forms a robust plastic oil storage tank that is lightweight yet durable for long-term heating oil storage.

The wider footprint and lower height give the tank the profile of a horizontal oil tank, helping it blend more discreetly into outdoor environments while maintaining a practical storage capacity.

Installation and Safety Considerations

Single skin oil tanks must be installed in accordance with current regulations and suitable site conditions. These tanks cannot be installed if any of the following apply:

• The tank holds more than 1350 litres

• The tank is within 10m of a controlled water source (Rivers, Streams, Septic Tank, etc)

• Location is at risk of spilling into a nearby open drain or loose-fitting manhole

• The tank is within 50m of a spring, borehole or well

• The tank is located in a place where a spillage could enter controlled water

• The vent pipe outlet is not visible from the fill point

• The tank is within an Environment Agency Source Protection Zone

• The tank is close to an environmental hazard

These considerations help ensure heating oil storage is installed safely and responsibly.

Capacity and Usage

With a storage capacity of 1350 litres, this tank provides ample fuel storage for many domestic heating systems.

A 1350 litre oil tank is commonly chosen by homeowners who require dependable heating oil storage while maintaining a practical footprint around the property.

Durability and Longevity

The tank’s polymer construction helps resist corrosion and weather exposure when installed outdoors. Compared with traditional metal oil tanks, polymer tanks do not rust and require minimal maintenance over their lifespan.

Weighing 75 KG, the tank remains easier to handle during installation while still offering dependable structural strength.

To provide additional reassurance, the tank is backed by a 5 Year Warranty.
