V1340BT 1340 Litre Bunded Heating Oil Tank
The DESO V1340BT 1340 Litre Bunded Oil Tank provides a robust and practical solution for domestic and commercial heating oil storage.
Featuring a compact vertical design, the V1340BT provides a generous 1340 litre capacity while keeping the overall footprint to a minimum. This makes it particularly suitable for properties where ground space is limited but a substantial heating oil capacity is still required.
Manufactured from premium-grade, oil-resistant polyethylene, the tank is designed for long-term outdoor use. Its fully bunded construction provides an additional layer of protection around the inner fuel tank, helping safeguard against leaks and accidental oil loss.
Supplied with essential fittings including overfill protection, inspection access, ventilation and a lockable cover, the DESO V1340BT is a convenient all-round solution for secure heating oil storage.

Fully Bunded for Additional Protection
The DESO V1340BT features a tank-within-a-tank design, providing secondary containment around the primary oil storage vessel.
Heating oil is stored within the inner tank, while the surrounding outer bund is designed to provide additional containment in the event of an internal leak.
This bunded construction provides greater security than a traditional single skin tank and helps reduce the risk of escaped oil contaminating the surrounding environment.
Compact Vertical Design
One of the biggest advantages of the V1340BT is its vertical shape.
With a diameter of approximately 1410mm, the tank provides 1340 litres of fuel storage without requiring the extended footprint of a horizontal or slimline tank.
The round, upright design makes efficient use of available ground space and is particularly useful where installation length is restricted.
Durable Polyethylene Construction
The V1340BT is rotationally moulded from premium-grade, oil-resistant polyethylene to create a strong and durable storage tank.
The polyethylene construction is resistant to corrosion and UV stabilised for outdoor use, providing a practical alternative to traditional steel oil tanks.
This robust construction provides excellent durability while requiring minimal ongoing maintenance.

Delivery Terms
Estimated Leadtime is 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.
