    Tuffa Tanks 1,800 Litre fire protected heating oil tanks are manufactured in the UK from 3mm Mild steel. With a life expectancy of 30 years, they provide an economical solution to suit most installations. 

    These Tanks come complete with:

    Integral 30 or 60 Minute fire Protection

    2" BSP Fill point with Cap & Chain

    Overfill Prevention Valve

    1" BSP Bottom outlet

    Float Level Clock Gauge

    Watchman Sonic Gauge

    Central Lifting Eye

    Channel Runners

    Bottom Outlet Fitting Kit

    Green RAL6005 Paint finish

    Tuffa's fire-protected oil tanks come fitted with an integral bund as standard and are LABC Certified. This means they can be located within 1,800mm of a window, shed and flue outlet, or within 760mm of a non-fire rated boundary (eg. wooden fence)

    Tuffa's Steel Bunded Fire-Protected Oil Tanks must be installed to building standards.

    Fire Protection

    Domestic: 

    30 minute fire protection – install a domestic tank adjacent to buildings and boundaries

    60 minute fire protection – install a domestic tank inside an uninhabited building such as a garage (pending installer/inspector approval)

    Non-Domestic:

    60 minute fire protection – install a non-domestic tank adjacent to buildings and boundaries

    Tuffa’s fire protected oil tanks serve as an alternative means of compliance when compared to traditional fire barriers. Tuffa’s fire protected tank system has LABC certification proving compliance with local authorities across Britain. However, it is the responsibility of the Competent Person installing the tank, or the building inspector certifying the installation, to ensure a site-specific risk assessment has been conducted.

    30 minute fire protection - Enables the installation of an oil tank a minimum of 300mm from other buildings and structures. Where access is required, then a minimum distance of 600mm is required.

    60 minute fire protection - Enables the installation of an oil tank within a garage or other internal space where it is impractical to install the tank externally to the building. The tank must be installed in an uninhabitable area (e.g. a garage or outbuilding), at the lowest possible level in the building or structure. Additionally, the tank must be installed a minimum of 300mm from other internal walls and structures or 600mm where access is required.

    Bunded Oil Tanks

    What Kind Of Heating Oil Tank Do I Need?

    The type of tank that is best suited to your requirements depends on a number of factors, including where the tank will be installed and the size of the property, and there are a few things to know about heating oil tanks to help you make the right choice.

    The most common type of tanks for domestic use are bunded oil tanks, which means fuel is stored in an inner chamber while an outer casing acts as a failsafe in case of leakage. Bunded oil tanks offer a number of benefits over single skin tanks, and are often the preferred choice for homeowners as they deliver enhanced safety and peace of mind, as well as being a legal requirement in some situations.

    Heating oil tanks are typically available in steel or plastic. Steel heating oil tanks offer additional security against theft, however they can require additional maintenance and upkeep, and can be more difficult to install due to their extra weight. Plastic heating oil tanks are lighter and easier to install, and are not prone to rust which makes them virtually maintenance free. They can be easier to puncture, however this risk can be mitigated with the double layer construction of a bunded tank.

    Heating oil tanks can be used to store various types of oil for central heating systems, however it is not recommended to mix the type of oil stored in your tank. Where residential properties are concerned, kerosene is the most commonly used heating oil, which all our tanks are designed to safely and securely store.

    Heating Oil Tank Sizes

    Heating oil tanks are available in a wide range of sizes, and here at Northern Tank Store you can find tanks with capacities ranging from 350 litres up to 10,000 litres or more. The size of tank that you need will depend on the size of your property and how much fuel you typically use, as well as the space available on site and the frequency with which you want to refill your tank.

    There isn’t a one size fits all solution when it comes to heating all tanks, however as a general rule of thumb a typical 2-3 bedroom house would require a tank with a capacity between 1000 and 1500 litres, a 3-4 bedroom home between 1650 and 2500 litres, and for properties with 4+ bedrooms a tank over 2500 litres is recommended.

    Heating Oil Tank Regulations, Safety & Legal Requirements

    The environmentally hazardous and flammable fuel typically stored in heating oil tanks obviously make safety and security a top priority. Heating oil tanks need to prevent leakage and be able to survive in all weather conditions. Designed for secure heating oil storage over a lengthy period of time, well designed tanks prioritise durability to minimise any risk of leaking or spillage. Because they store potential pollutants, heating oil tanks must comply with certain European and UK government regulations. At Northern Tank Store, we ensure that these are all met by every product we supply.

    When it comes to installation there are a number of regulations that you will need to consider. It’s necessary to install your heating oil tank on a level, fire resistant base such as one made from stone or concrete. For some sites a bunded tank is legally required. This includes if the tank will be installed within 10 metres of controlled water or within 50 metres of a controlled well or spring. A bunded tank will also be required if it is to be positioned on hard ground that could lead to runoff into controlled water should a leak occur.

    It is also a legal requirement that heating oil tanks are CE marked. CE marking represents a guarantee that strict ISO regulations have been followed by the manufacturer. All fuel tanks supplied by Northern Tank Store are CE marked, ensuring that they adhere to the ISO 9001:2015 quality standard. This means they are thoroughly inspected for defects and pass all the relevant pneumatic pressure tests.

    If you’re unsure about the type of tank you need for your site, contact our team who will be happy to assist you. You can also find answers to common questions about heating oil tanks and correct installation on our Heating Oil Tank FAQ page.
