Description

For properties with higher heating oil demand, this 2400 litre plastic bunded oil tank offers dependable storage with a substantial fuel capacity. Its durable polymer construction and double-layer containment design help ensure safe fuel storage while reducing environmental risk.

Suitable for outdoor installation, the tank provides reliable storage for kerosene heating systems used in larger homes, agricultural settings, or commercial properties.

What Is a Bunded Oil Tank?

A bunded oil tank features a double-layer design created 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 tank failure.

This design provides additional protection for the surrounding environment and is commonly used for domestic heating oil storage where safe and secure fuel containment is essential.

Construction and Design

The tank is manufactured from UV-stabilized Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE), a robust material commonly used in fuel storage due to its resistance to corrosion, weather exposure, and long-term outdoor use.

The double-walled construction forms a durable plastic bunded heating oil tank, with the outer containment layer surrounding the internal tank to provide additional protection against potential leaks. This integrated bund design helps ensure safe fuel storage while maintaining structural strength for large storage volumes.

Installation and Safety Considerations

This tank is designed for outdoor installation on a suitable base and can be used for domestic, agricultural, or light commercial heating systems that rely on kerosene fuel.

The integral bund provides secondary containment that helps reduce environmental risk associated with fuel storage. A secure lockable lid also helps prevent unauthorised access to stored fuel.

For properties upgrading older oil storage systems, this model can provide a practical bunded oil tank replacement with increased capacity and improved safety.

Capacity and Usage

With a storage capacity of 2400 litres, this tank provides substantial fuel storage for properties with higher heating oil consumption.

A 2400 litre oil tank is commonly selected for larger homes, agricultural buildings, or commercial installations that require dependable bulk fuel storage. The larger capacity allows property owners to store greater volumes of heating oil and potentially reduce the frequency of fuel deliveries.

Durability and Longevity

The UV-stabilised MDPE construction provides excellent durability and resistance to outdoor weather conditions. Unlike steel tanks, polymer tanks are resistant to rust and corrosion and typically require minimal maintenance throughout their lifespan.

The integrated bund offers an additional layer of protection, helping contain potential spills while improving the long-term reliability of the tank. Backed by a 12-year warranty, this tank provides added reassurance for those investing in long-term fuel storage.

Who This Tank Is Ideal For

This tank is particularly suitable for:

• Larger homes with high heating oil consumption

• Agricultural or rural properties requiring bulk fuel storage

• Installations replacing older oil tanks with larger capacity units

• Households or businesses requiring a large domestic oil storage tank

Its high capacity allows reliable fuel storage for extended heating periods.
