Plastic Bunded Oil Tanks
Plastic is the most popular material used for new heating oil tanks at the residential level. At Northern Tank Store we supply a wide range of single skin and bunded plastic heating oil tanks of all sizes, and also offer bespoke solutions to meet individual requirements. You can be fully confident that every product in our range is manufactured to the highest standards and meets all relevant legislation.
The Benefits Of Plastic Heating Oil Tanks
Plastic heating oil tanks have their advantages and disadvantages when compared to alternatives such as those made from steel, however there are a number of reasons why plastic tanks are perhaps the most popular with today’s users.
Plastic heating oil tanks are virtually maintenance free, as the high quality materials used in their construction such as polyethylene mean that they are impervious to rust. While regular inspection of your heating system is recommended, you can rely on a plastic tank to provide many years of trouble free service.
Due to their lighter weight than steel tanks, heating oil tanks made from plastic are usually easier, faster and therefore less costly to install. This makes them a particularly attractive proposition for homeowners looking for a replacement oil tank for a site where access may be limited, as well as anyone needing to install a new heating oil system into a property.
Plastic or Steel?
The main alternative to a plastic tank is a steel heating oil tank. While there are many advantages of steel, such as durability and security, a plastic tank often offers better insulation, protecting the oil it contains. Plastic tanks are also more pliable and do not rust or become unsightly.
The right choice for you will depend on your own individual requirements and preferences, and there are a number of factors to consider when selecting a tank for heating oil storage, including where the tank will be positioned on your property, the amount of fuel you wish to store and the budget you have available.
Legal Requirements For Plastic Heating Oil Tanks
It is a legal requirement in the UK that heating oil tanks are CE marked, and all tanks supplied by Northern Tank Store carry this mark. CE marking is a guarantee that stringent ISO regulations have been followed by the manufacturer and offers real peace of mind about the safety of the product in question.
One of the most important legal requirements for heating oil tanks installed at residential properties is that they are bunded. This means that the fuel is stored in an inner chamber within the tank. Plastic heating oil tanks must be bunded if they are to be placed in the vicinity of a controlled water source, and if a single skin tank holds in excess of 2500 litres, it cannot be legally installed at any property in the UK. While bunded tanks are not legally required for all properties, they offer a number of benefits that make them the most popular choice for residential installation.
