Choosing the right oil tank
Choosing the right oil tank usually comes down to a few practical points: whether you need a bunded or single skin tank, how much heating oil you need to store, the space available on site, and the access available for delivery and installation. Our range includes domestic heating oil tanks, bunded oil tanks, single skin oil tanks, plastic oil tanks, steel oil tanks, slimline oil tanks and larger-capacity options.
Useful starting points
These are the most useful pages to read if you are still deciding what type of oil tank is suitable.
Bunded or single skin?
This is usually the first choice to make when comparing heating oil tanks.
Bunded Oil Tanks
Bunded oil tanks include a secondary containment area and are the most common choice for modern domestic, agricultural and commercial heating oil storage.
Single Skin Oil Tanks
Single skin oil tanks may be suitable for certain installations, but the site should be checked carefully before ordering to confirm whether this tank type is appropriate.
Then narrow the range
Once you know the tank type, the next step is usually material, available space and litre capacity.
Choose by material
Plastic oil tanks are popular for domestic heating oil storage, while steel oil tanks suit customers looking for a more robust construction.
Choose by space
If access or positioning is tight, slimline, low profile and fire protected oil tanks can help narrow the choice.
Before you order
Check more than just the litre capacity. The physical tank size, footprint, base requirements and delivery access are just as important when choosing a replacement or new heating oil tank.
