Choosing the right diesel tank for you
Are you seeking a reliable, high-capacity fuel storage solution? The 10,000 litre steel bunded diesel tank, built for durability and security, could be just the answer.
Constructed from thick mild steel, both the primary tank and bund (outer tank) achieve superior strength. This guarantees its long-term durability and protection against impact, weathering, and corrosion. As for the bund, it can contain 110% of the tank’s contents to reduce the risk of spills and leaks, and it’s fully compliant with UK oil storage regulations.
What is a bunded diesel tank?
A bunded diesel tank is essentially a tank within a tank designed to minimise the risk of spills or leaks.
