1200 Litre Slimline Oil Tank - Deso R1220T

Can I fit a single skin oil tank?

For some DOMESTIC oil tank installations (in England and Scotland, NOT Wales) fitting a single skin oil tank can be suitable solution.

In ALL cases, an 'oil storage risk assessment' should be carried out to determine the correct tank and installation (this can be carried out by an OFTEC approved engineer).

In brief a Bund or Bunded Tank is required in domestic situations if:

• Your tank is in Wales.
• You are storing over 2500 litres.
• Your tank is near an open drain or loose-fitting manhole.
• Your tank is within 10m of controlled water such as a river, stream etc.
• Your tank is located where any spillage could travel over hard ground to reach controlled water.
• Your tank is located within 50m of a borehole, spring or well.
• Your tank vent is not visible from the fill point (such as an extended fill point)
• Your oil use is for a building other than a single-family dwelling.
• Any other unique hazards to your site.

ALL DOMESTIC oil tanks over 2500 litres need to be bunded.

All NON-DOMESTIC oil tanks over 200 litres need to be bunded.

Please refer to our “resources” page for more information.

Delivery Information

Tanks:

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.

Accessories:

Most accessories will be delivered within 1-3 working days. If you require them quicker, we can on occasions offer a next day service (please contact us to discuss). If the item(s) are out of stock we will advise you of the expected lead time and you will of course have the opportunity to cancel with a full refund.
