What Is A Bunded Tank?

A bunded tank is essentially a tank within another tank, creating a double layer between the contents stored in the tank and the outside. This means that the oil or fuel stored inside is highly protected and would need to break through two layers before it could become an issue, which also makes them more environmentally friendly than single skin tanks.

How Long Do Fuel Tanks Last?

Atlantis’s StoraFuel tanks come in a variety of configurations, each one featuring a different guarantee on the tank itself and the pump as follows:

Bunded Plastic Diesel Fuel Tanks – 12 year tank & 1 year pump guarantee.
Pollicube Diesel Fuel Tanks – 2 year tank & 1 year pump guarantee.
Bunded Steel Diesel Fuel Tank Dispensers – 10 year tank & 1 year pump guarantee.
Bunded Steel Diesel Portable Fuel Tanks – 5 year tank & 1 year pump guarantee.

Each tank and pump can of course last longer than its manufacturer guarantee.

Is It Better To Store Fuel In Metal Or Plastic?

While both plastic and metal tanks are suitable for the storage of fuels, each has their own advantages. Plastic tanks are far lighter than their metal counterparts, making them easier to manoeuvre and transport. Metal tanks however are more durable and resistant to potential environmental damage.

How Long Does Diesel Last In A Storage Tank?

Diesel fuel stored in a tank will last between six months and a year if stored under cool conditions before it needs to be treated with additives such as biocides and fuel stabilisers.
