Description

For homes and properties with higher heating oil usage, this 2400 litre plastic single skinned oil tank provides a reliable storage solution with substantial capacity. Its horizontal profile and durable polymer construction allow large volumes of heating oil to be stored safely while maintaining a tidy and unobtrusive appearance around the property.

With a generous capacity and lightweight design, the tank offers a practical solution for domestic heating systems that require larger fuel reserves.

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 installed where site conditions allow appropriate siting distances from drains, buildings, and water sources.

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

Construction and Design

This tank is manufactured from Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE), a high-grade polymer commonly used for fuel storage due to its durability and resistance to corrosion.

The structure forms a strong plastic oil storage tank that is lightweight yet robust enough for long-term outdoor use. The wider footprint and lower height give the tank the profile of a horizontal oil tank, helping it sit discreetly within outdoor spaces while still offering significant fuel storage capacity.

Installation and Safety Considerations

The tank is designed for outdoor installation on a suitable base and includes a secure locking cap to help protect stored fuel from unauthorised access.

When installing a single skin oil tank, it is important that the installation location complies with relevant siting requirements and environmental considerations.

Capacity and Usage

With a capacity of 2400 litres, this tank is designed for properties that either consume larger quantities of heating oil or prefer to order fuel in bulk deliveries.

A 2400 litre oil tank allows homeowners to store a significant fuel reserve, helping reduce the frequency of oil deliveries and making it easier to manage heating costs during colder months.

Durability and Longevity

The tank is moulded from MDPE polymer, a material designed to provide strength, flexibility, and resistance to UV exposure. This helps protect the tank from fading or deterioration when installed outdoors.

Unlike steel tanks, polymer oil tanks do not rust and require minimal maintenance over their lifespan. To provide additional reassurance, the tank is supplied with a 5 Year Warranty.

Who This Tank Is Ideal For

This tank is particularly suitable for:

• Larger homes with higher heating oil consumption

• Properties ordering bulk heating oil deliveries

• Installations where bunded tanks are not required

• Households seeking a large capacity oil tank for dependable fuel storage

Its larger storage volume helps ensure sufficient heating oil is available throughout the colder months.
