Atlas 1200LPBA: 1200 Litre Low Profile Bunded Heating Oil Tank
Product Overview
The Atlas 1200LPBA is a 1,200 litre low-profile bunded oil tank designed for secure storage of heating oil, kerosene, diesel, gas oil and HVO. Manufactured from high-grade polyethylene, this British-made Atlas tank combines a robust double-skinned construction with a low-profile design, making it suitable for both domestic and commercial fuel storage applications.
The tank is supplied with an overfill prevention valve, inspection access, vent, 1" BSP outlet connection and lockable manhole cover. A basic top outlet connection is also available as an alternative to the standard bottom outlet configuration.

Low Profile Bunded Construction
The Atlas 1200LPBA uses a tank-within-a-tank design. The inner tank acts as the primary storage vessel, while the outer tank provides secondary containment in the event of a leak or spill.
The low-profile format provides a relatively compact height of 970 mm while retaining a 1,200 litre storage capacity. This makes the tank particularly useful for installations where a conventional taller oil tank would be less suitable.
Applications
The Atlas 1200LPBA is suitable for a wide range of domestic, agricultural, commercial and industrial fuel storage applications.
Typical applications include:
- Domestic heating oil storage
- Rural and agricultural properties
- Commercial heating systems
- Farms and agricultural businesses
- Workshops and industrial premises
- Commercial buildings
- Heating oil storage installations
- Diesel and HVO storage applications
Its low-profile design is particularly useful where installation height needs to be kept to a minimum, while the 1,200 litre capacity provides a substantial volume of stored fuel.
Delivery
Standard tank delivery is kerbside, meaning the tank is delivered to the kerb and is not positioned into its final installation location. Customers are responsible for arranging suitable equipment and personnel to manoeuvre the tank into position.
The supplier states that tanks are lowered to ground level but are not positioned as part of the standard kerbside service. HIAB delivery is available by request at additional cost.

Delivery Terms
DELIVERY IN 3-5 WORKING DAYS
The delivery of a tank can be confusing as each manufacturer offers a slightly different service and lead time. Please refer to our Delivery Information page. Standard tank deliveries are "kerbside", which means the tank will be delivered to the kerb only and not positioned further. Should you have specific delivery requirements or restrictions, please contact us to discuss.
Tanks over 2,500L — articulated lorry, customer offload
These tanks are delivered on an articulated vehicle (approximately 16.5m long × 2.6m wide × 3m high) which has no offloading on board. It is the customer's responsibility to offload the tank, which may require a telehandler or forklift.
Curtain-sided vehicles are also used, so please note that if there are obstacles or overhanging branches on the road to the delivery site, the driver may refuse to drive to the location due to the risk of damaging the vehicle. Please let us know about any obstructions before delivery so we can arrange alternative transport.
18-tonne tail-lift HGV
This vehicle is roughly the size of the largest bin lorries — approximately 8.2m long × 2.6m wide × 4m high, and often curtain-sided. If there are overhanging branches, these vehicles will not attempt the route, so a smaller vehicle should be requested.
Tanks are lowered to the ground but not positioned, as this is a kerbside delivery. If a smaller vehicle is required, email sales@fueltankshop.co.uk quoting your order number and name.
HIAB delivery
HIAB delivery is available but must be requested, and carries an additional cost. Email sales@fueltankshop.co.uk quoting your order number and name, and we'll come back to you with a price.
Accessories
Most accessories are delivered within 1–3 working days. Certain products and postcodes may take longer — check the product page for current information. If you need them sooner we can sometimes offer a next-day service; please contact us to discuss. If an item is out of stock we'll advise the expected lead time, and you're free to cancel for a full refund.
Returns Information
Customers may return items within 14 calendar days, as set out in section 7 of our Terms & Conditions.
All items must be returned unused. Refunds cannot be issued for used or previously installed items.
Please be aware that returning a tank can be complicated and expensive, so do check you're ordering the correct item — we strongly suggest checking the dimensions carefully before you buy.
