With its extensive 6000 litre (1319 Gallons) capacity, this bunded oil storage tank from Tuffa is suitable for agricultural, industrial and commercial fuel oil storage.
A bunded tank uses a tank within a tank blueprint which will protect your liquid in the event of the inner wall splitting and will also stop diesel from escaping into the immediate vicinity, causing damage to the environment and resulting in expensive clean-up costs.
The inner tank holds the oil while the outer tank offers leak-protection and holds 110% of the total amount of liquid being stored. The strong, protective layer provided by the bund makes the tank stronger for reliable oil storage as well as inhibiting the build-up of rainwater and debris.

It is manufactured in the UK from a premium grade of Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE) which is recyclable, rust resistant and UV stabilised.
Users will benefit from the Watchman Sonic gauge which remotely monitors the amount of fuel in your oil storage tank and wirelessly transmits the reading to an indoors receiver meaning you don't have to go out in the cold to establish your fuel level. When the level is below 10 per cent, the fuel dispensing pump symbol appears on the receiver as a reminder to order more oil.
The tank is also equipped with an automatic shut-off overfill prevention device which prevents any further fluid from being dispensed once the maximum capacity has been reached. The lockable hinged flap lid affords easy access to the tank and provides an additional security element.
This tank comes supplied with a 10 year warranty for your peace of mind.
Optional Extras
An optional lockable cabinet is available which comes equipped with a battery bund and high-quality overfill alarm which is designed to detect overfill, low liquid levels and provide an early warning of a breach in the bund layer of the tank. An upgraded % hydrostatic gauge is also included.
