Petrol Tanks
If you’re looking for a safe and secure storage location for your fuel on-site, static petrol tanks are a perfect choice. Designed and manufactured to the highest standards to ensure maximised safety and convenience, our range of static petrol tanks offer a great foundation for your fuel storage and management needs.
If you wish to transport petrol both on and off public highways, you need a safe and efficient transport solution that’s fully compliant with UN ADR regulations. Designed and built to meet the highest standards, our range of durable and portable petrol tanks are ideal for getting fuel safely and securely to their destination.
Petrol tools, equipment and accessories are vital to the success of an operation or business. Whether you want transfer pumps, particle filters, strainers, tank gauges or automatic or manual nozzles, we have everything you need for your petrol dispensing and storage needs.
Safe & Secure Petrol Storage
Safe, secure and legal bulk storage of petrol means it can be sourced efficiently, and dispensed as needed which helps organisations operate efficiently. At Northern Tank Store we manufacture and supply fully-compliant, static petrol tanks for commercial use. These steel bunded petrol tanks for installation above ground are fire protected in-line with regulations, and are a great way to keep vehicles and equipment fuelled as needed.
We also supply portable petrol tanks for convenient refuelling in hard to reach areas, as well as all the petrol equipment you need for safe and efficient storage, dispensing and management.
To procure and store petrol in the UK, a petrol certificate is required from the Petrol Enforcement Authority. You will usually need to supply site drawings and tank specifications and have a local officer conduct site visits before and after installation.
What Size Petrol Tank Do I Need?
Calculating the size of the petrol tank required means taking into account a number of factors. This includes the number of vehicles or items of machinery that will be supplied from it, their average daily use and fuel efficiency, and the frequency of deliveries. Investing in a bigger tank can also make sense in order to provide capacity in case of delivery delays, and to capitalise on bulk discounts and periods when petrol prices fall.There may be a minimum delivery applied for tanker deliveries. This is often 500 litres and the average tanker holds 3,000 litres. Our range of petrol tank sizes is ideal for both scenarios.
Considerations For Petrol Storage On-Site
When storing petrol on site for commercial use, a designated person within the company or at the site will also need to take responsibility for risk assessments and associated safety protocols as well as ensuring legislative and regulatory requirements are adhered to. It is generally recommended that a static bulk petrol tank be installed on a level reinforced concrete base. The thickness will depend on the size and weight of the tank but it should be 100 mm as a minimum.In terms of siting, the tank will need to be by a road or with sufficient access for a petrol tanker and suitable clearance around the location for the tanker to manoeuvre safely. The tank should also be located at least four metres from buildings, other structures and boundaries.

FAQs About Petrol Tanks
How long is delivery for petrol tanks?
Delivery times vary depending on the model. Standard stock tanks are typically delivered within 5 working days, while custom builds may take longer. Estimated availability and lead times are shown on each product page.
Do you offer bespoke petrol tanks?
Yes, we offer custom-designed tanks built to your exact requirements, including size, fittings, fire protection, and access control. Contact us to discuss your needs.
Can I store petrol in any type of tank?
No. Petrol must be stored in specially designed petrol tanks that meet strict safety standards, including fire protection, ventilation, and explosion resistance. Using the wrong type of tank is illegal and dangerous.
Are your petrol tanks suitable for commercial use?
Yes, our petrol tanks are designed for safe, compliant storage in commercial, industrial, and agricultural settings. They meet DSEAR (Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations) and other relevant UK standards.
What regulations must petrol tanks comply with in the UK?
Petrol tanks must meet several safety standards including DSEAR, the Petroleum (Consolidation) Regulations 2014, and relevant Environment Agency guidelines.
What is the maximum amount of petrol I can store without a licence?
You can store up to 30 litres of petrol privately without a licence. Any storage above this amount, especially for business use, will require proper authorisation and a compliant storage solution.
What safety features do your petrol tanks include?
Our petrol tanks are built with flame-retardant materials, overfill prevention systems, proper venting, and anti-static protection. Some models also include secure, lockable cabinets for dispensing equipment.
Are your petrol tanks bunded?
Yes, all of our static petrol tanks are bunded. This means they have a second outer layer to contain spills, which is essential for meeting environmental safety standards and protecting against leaks. Smaller canisters and portable dispensing units may not be bunded.
Do I need to ground (earth) a petrol tank?
Yes. Due to the flammable nature of petrol, tanks and dispensing equipment should be properly earthed to prevent static electricity buildup, which can ignite vapours. Grounding is a legal safety requirement.
Do your petrol tanks come with pumps and dispensing kits?
Many of our petrol tanks are supplied with complete dispensing solutions, or can be upgraded as needed to include pumps, nozzles, flow meters, and hose reels. Check each product listing for full specifications.
