Centurion 2400 Litre Plastic Bunded Oil Tank – Black

Description For properties requiring substantial heating oil storage, this 2400 litre plastic bunded oil tank offers a reliable and practical solution. Its wider footprint and lower height allow the tank to sit securely on a prepared base while maintaining easy access for routine checks and servicing. The durable polymer construction combined with built-in secondary containment provides dependable oil storage while helping reduce environmental risks associated with fuel handling. What Is a Bunded Oil Tank? A bunded oil tank uses a double-wall design to store heating oil safely. The inner tank contains the fuel while the outer bund acts as secondary containment designed to capture leaks or spills in the unlikely event of tank failure. This design helps protect surrounding areas from potential contamination and is widely used for domestic heating oil storage where safe fuel containment is required. Construction and Design This 2400 litre plastic bunded oil tank is manufactured from durable polyethylene, a corrosion-resistant material commonly used for heating oil storage due to its strength and resistance to outdoor weather exposure. The structure forms a robust plastic oil storage tank with an outer containment layer that surrounds the inner tank to provide integrated spill protection. Its shape also creates a practical horizontal oil tank for domestic heating, offering a lower profile that helps improve stability and simplify servicing. The black exterior finish helps the tank blend more discreetly into outdoor installations such as gardens, service areas, or utility spaces. Installation and Safety Considerations The horizontal design allows the tank to sit securely on a suitable non-combustible base that extends beyond the tank footprint. Its wider footprint helps create a stable installation while maintaining access for inspection and maintenance. The integrated bund provides secondary containment designed to help reduce environmental risks associated with heating oil storage. Optional upgrades such as locking lids, gauges, or outlet and filter kits may be available depending on the product configuration. 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 2,400 litres, this tank provides substantial fuel storage for properties with higher heating oil usage. A 2400 litre oil tank is commonly selected for larger homes or properties that prefer to order heating oil in bulk deliveries. The increased capacity allows homeowners to store greater fuel volumes and potentially reduce the frequency of oil deliveries. Durability and Longevity Polyethylene construction provides strong resistance to corrosion, weather exposure, and UV degradation when installed outdoors. Unlike steel tanks, polymer oil tanks do not rust and typically require minimal maintenance over time. The integrated bund adds an additional layer of protection against spills while improving the long-term reliability of the tank. A 12-year manufacturer warranty provides further reassurance for homeowners investing in dependable heating oil storage.
