Tuffa FirePro 1150 Litre Plastic Fire Rated Bunded Oil Tank – 30 min Bottom Outlet

Description The Tuffa FirePro 1150 litre plastic fire rated bunded oil tank is a slimline plastic oil storage solution designed for properties where fire protection, environmental safety, and space efficiency are key considerations. As part of Tuffa’s FirePro range, this tank is purpose-built for situations where standard oil tanks may not meet current installation requirements. With a usable capacity of 1150 litres, it is a popular choice for domestic heating oil storage, particularly where tanks are positioned close to buildings or within restricted spaces. Fire Rated Oil Tank with 30-Minute Protection This 30 minute fire rated oil tank incorporates an integral fire protection barrier within the tank structure. In the event of an external fire, this barrier is designed to delay heat transfer to the stored fuel, offering an additional layer of protection compared with non-fire-rated tanks. The fire protection technology used in the FirePro range has achieved Local Authority Building Control (LABC) Assured Status. Installation suitability and compliance should always be confirmed by a qualified installer based on site conditions and current regulations. Fully Bunded for Leak and Spill Containment As a fully bunded unit, this tank features an inner storage tank and an outer containment layer designed to capture leaks, spills, or overfilling. All FirePro fire-protected tanks are bunded as standard, helping to reduce environmental risk and providing reassurance where additional protection is required. This makes the tank particularly suitable as a replacement for older single-skin tanks that no longer meet modern standards. Slimline Design for Restricted Locations The elongated, slimline profile allows the tank to be positioned neatly alongside buildings or within outbuildings where space is limited. In appropriate circumstances and subject to installer assessment, the Tuffa FirePro oil tank may be used as an alternative to constructed fire barriers, potentially reducing the need for additional building work. Its discreet design also makes it easier to conceal visually while maintaining practical access for filling and maintenance.

Durable Plastic Construction and Fuel Compatibility Manufactured from recyclable, corrosion-resistant polyethylene plastic, the tank is designed for long-term outdoor use and resistance to weathering. Unlike steel tanks, plastic construction eliminates the risk of rust, helping to extend service life with minimal maintenance. The tank is compatible with standard heating oil as well as HVO fuel and HVO kerosene blends, supporting lower-carbon fuel options where available.
