Description For homes that require greater heating oil storage but prefer a lower tank profile, this 1350 litre plastic bunded oil tank offers a practical solution. Its wider, lower design makes the tank easier to position and service while still providing substantial fuel capacity. The durable polymer construction and integrated bund containment help ensure safe storage for domestic kerosene heating systems while maintaining a tidy outdoor installation. What Is a Bunded Oil Tank? A bunded oil tank is designed with two layers of protection to store heating oil safely. The inner tank holds the fuel while the outer bund acts as secondary containment designed to capture leaks or spills. This style of tank is widely used in domestic heating oil installations because the additional containment helps protect surrounding areas from potential fuel contamination. Construction and Design The 1350 litre plastic bunded oil tank is rotationally moulded from Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE), a durable polymer commonly used in heating oil storage because it resists corrosion and weather exposure. The structure forms a robust plastic oil storage tank with an outer bund that surrounds the internal tank to provide secondary containment. The horizontal shape creates a practical horizontal oil tank for domestic heating, making the tank easier to access for gauge checks and servicing. The black exterior finish also allows the tank to blend discreetly into gardens, service areas, or utility spaces. Installation and Safety Considerations This tank is designed for outdoor installation on a suitable level base that extends beyond the tank footprint. The horizontal profile helps ensure the tank sits securely on the base while allowing easier access for maintenance. The integrated bund provides built-in spill protection designed to help reduce environmental risks associated with fuel storage. A lockable lid option may also be available depending on the specific product listing, helping to protect stored fuel from tampering. Installation should always be carried out by a qualified installer, with appropriate clearances maintained from buildings, boundaries, and ignition sources. Capacity and Usage With a storage capacity of 1,350 litres, this tank provides dependable fuel storage for homes with moderate to higher heating oil usage. The 1350 litre plastic bunded oil tank offers increased storage capacity while maintaining a manageable installation height, making it a suitable option for properties that prefer a lower tank profile without sacrificing storage volume. Durability and Longevity The UV-stabilised MDPE construction helps protect the 1350 litre plastic bunded oil tank from corrosion, UV exposure, and outdoor weather conditions. Unlike steel tanks, polymer tanks do not rust and generally require minimal maintenance. The integrated bund system provides an additional layer of protection against leaks while improving the long-term reliability of the tank. A 12-year manufacturer warranty (terms apply) provides additional reassurance for homeowners investing in long-term heating oil storage.
