Steel bunded fuel tanks with plastic inner?

i wouldn't have thought so, but i could be worng! it would be quite difficult to manufacture. To make the outside skin would have to be welded together, and the heat from the welding would melt the plastic tank

Got this on one place because I needed something that would fit in an awkward space.


It's not an outdoor tank. Steel's very thin too, doesn't really do much for security. And the the 110% bund claim is highly questionable when you see the physical size of it.
SEPA signed it off ok though, so hey-ho 🤷‍♂️

Tanker driver noticed some cracking in the skin of our plastic heating oil tank near the base, said it was down to UV degradation. Is this common ? Tank is shielded on three sides but open to the north. We need to cover it with a sheet apparently.

Yes. J Seed make a steel fire rated tank with a plastic bunded envirostore inner. Pricey though. If you don't need fire protection you can buy decent bunded steel tanks. Try Tuffa.. we fit loads of them. Wouldn't worry about security as if they want in... they will get in! That said.. J Seed steel tanks are just about inprenatrable. You do need to paint them every year though :-(
