A double skinned tank, or can you get away with building a 110% bund around a single skin tank?

yes sorry anything bar a single skin tank

2300

Should be 2273, but they've obviously rounded it up to 'metricify' it!

 

[sandspider]

see your in wales, any fuel storage needs a double skin tank

So it does! That answers that question, thank you.

Don't know about that, just suppliers always told me 2300litres 5% vat

The driver once put in 2301 litres once and I got charged at 20% VAT. Good thing I am VAT registered so I could claim the VAT back.

I looked at getting a bigger tank, currently 1300l. But the big bunded ones are really expensive, nearly £1000! Will just have to keep buying smaller quantities until the current tank gives up the ghost...

That was my situation. Was using an ibc with electric pump. Didn't have any problems with it, the occasional driver would say they weren't really supposed to fill them but they'd turn a blind eye. Then the last lot I ordered from the usual company came with a new driver who flatly refused to fill it. not very handy as both tractors were running on fumes!
I've just had to bite the bullet and bought a steel bunded fuel station. I've got one big enough to future proof myself, and hopefully I shan't have to buy another!

Think with bunded theres also the issue with the outlet, the fact it's at the bottom of the tank and comes from the inner tank through the bund

Yep, nothing wrong with my tank as such, but it's a bit older and doesn't meet current regs. Drivers from my usual supplier fill it happily, but not sure all drivers would. I know it needs to be replaced at some point anyway, and we'll go for a bigger one, 2500l maybe, so we can do bigger orders in summer / when prices are low. Currently we need at least two fills a year. And our house isn't warm! The prices of new tanks do sting though.

A nice sized drop in wholesale diesel prices today, it should lead to lower retail prices in the next few days.
