I was also told the rules say they don't need to be bunded , but was told one company will refuse to fill a non bunded tank.I was told they don’t need to be bunded just last month. Confused
Block walls reinforced with rebar
@Clive how come you went for the horizontal tanks instead of the vertical? Surely they are more expensive in terms of concrete?
Did you do the block work or did you get someone in?
If you don’t mind me asking roughly how much did it cost?
How do you stop the bund from filling up with water throughout the year?
Do you have extensions on the outlet taps over the bund wall for easy filling?
Hate to be negative, but do you think that wall would stand if you had a full tank discharge?I have a submersible pump I put in the sump occasionally to clean it out. I thought about putting a drain valve in but thought if a malicious spill occurred it would also be broken, negating the wall in the first place.
Yes, priming a centrifugal pump is a pain when the tanks run low but with planning and a rinse tank filled with water or fert to help prime the pump it’s doable.

Horizontal because the landowners of that contract farmed estate did not want the view from their house spoiling ! We have vertical and horizontal at our
That’s a good idea @Brisel, having a tap on top of the wall.

You must bund liquid fertiliser tanks. To be told otherwise is irresponsible.
Your fuel tanks are bunded for a very good reason. Fertiliser is as much, if not more, of an environmental hazard if it you lose a tank full.
It will be only a matter of time before it is a legal requirement.
