What Is a Bunded Oil Tank?

A bunded oil tank is built with two layers of protection to store heating oil safely. 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.

Because of this additional layer of protection, bunded tanks are widely used for bunded oil tank for domestic heating installations, helping homeowners store fuel more securely.

Construction and Design

This tank is manufactured from UV-stabilized Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE), a robust material commonly used for heating oil storage due to its resistance to corrosion and weather exposure.

The double-walled construction forms a durable plastic oil storage tank, with an outer containment layer that surrounds the internal tank. This integrated bund provides additional protection against leaks while maintaining a strong and long-lasting structure.

Installation and Safety Considerations

The tank is designed for outdoor installation on a suitable base and provides safe storage for kerosene used in domestic heating systems. The integrated bund helps reduce the environmental risk associated with fuel storage by containing potential leaks.

A secure lockable lid helps protect stored fuel from unauthorised access or tampering. The included vent pipe and fittings help support a straightforward installation process.

Capacity and Usage

With a capacity of 1750 litres, this tank offers increased fuel storage for properties with higher heating oil consumption.

A 1750 litre oil tank can provide dependable storage for medium to larger homes that rely on kerosene heating systems, allowing homeowners to store a larger fuel supply and reduce the frequency of oil deliveries.

Durability and Longevity

The UV-stabilised MDPE construction provides excellent resistance to corrosion, weather exposure, and UV degradation. Unlike metal oil tanks, polymer tanks do not rust and generally require minimal ongoing maintenance.

The integrated bund adds an additional layer of safety, helping to contain potential spills and improve the long-term reliability of the tank. The tank is also supported by a 12-year warranty, offering added reassurance for homeowners investing in long-term heating oil storage.
