Bunded tanks are recommended as the safest way to store heating oil.

Did you know that the average lifespan of domestic single skin oil tanks is 10 years. It is recommended that old tanks be checked regularly for leaks or replaced.

Most old tanks are single skin and prone to leaking once they get old. Bunded oil tanks offer better oil storage and environmental protection. They are double-layered for extra strength and protection against oil spillages and theft.
