The 1000 litre fire rated bunded oil tank from the Tuffa FirePro range is engineered for domestic and commercial heating oil storage where fire protection and long-term structural strength are essential. Manufactured in the UK from high-quality mild steel, it combines integral 30-minute fire protection with a fully bunded steel construction, providing a compliant alternative to standard oil tanks while maintaining a compact footprint for restricted installation spaces.
Fast UK Delivery for Urgent Installations
This 1000 litre fire rated bunded oil tank is typically available with a 5–7 working day lead time, making it particularly suitable for emergency replacements, failed inspections, or insurance-driven upgrades. Many comparable fire-protected tanks are subject to extended lead times, but this model offers a practical solution where delays of several weeks are not acceptable.
30-Minute Integral Fire Protection
The tank incorporates an integrally fitted 30-minute fire protection system within the steel structure. In the event of a nearby fire, this system is designed to delay heat transfer to the stored fuel, offering increased protection compared with non-fire-rated tanks. Installation location and compliance should always be assessed and confirmed by a suitably qualified installer based on site-specific conditions.
Steel Bunded Construction for Maximum Protection
As a fully bunded steel oil tank, this unit features a primary inner tank and an outer mild steel bund designed to contain leaks, spills, or overfilling. All FirePro fire-protected tanks are bunded as standard, providing integral environmental protection without the need for additional secondary containment. The robust steel construction offers excellent resistance to impact, making it suitable for exposed or demanding environments.
Compact Design and Installation Flexibility
The compact footprint allows the tank to be positioned discreetly alongside buildings or within outbuildings where space is limited. In suitable circumstances and subject to installer assessment, the fire-protected design may provide an alternative form of compliance to constructed fire barriers, potentially reducing the need for additional building work. A central lifting eye and integrated channel runners assist with safe handling and positioning during installation.
Outlet Configuration and Supplied Equipment
This model is supplied as a bottom outlet bunded steel oil tank and features a 1″ BSP bottom outlet connection. A comprehensive range of fittings and safety components are supplied as standard, supporting safe filling, monitoring, and operation from installation.
Fuel Compatibility and Finish
Manufactured from painted mild steel and finished in RAL 6005 green, the tank is designed for long-term outdoor use and resistance to harsh weather conditions. It is compatible with standard heating oil as well as HVO fuel and HVO kerosene blends, supporting lower-carbon fuel options where available.
