Yorpower - Bulk Fuel Tanks - Brochure

ALL of our bulk fuel tanks are fully bunded, which in effect means, there is a built in catchment area (a bund) between the bulk tank steel casement that holds the fuel, and an outer layer of steel (the outside of the tank) which mechanically protects the bulk storage of fuel from damage and potential spillage. The space between the inner and outer steel is designed to hold 110% of the capacity of the bulk tank. Metal is stronger and safer when compared to plastic and provides much better protection, durability and longevity of your fuel system. The bund area should always be dry (unless the inner tank has leaked) and should ideally be fitted with an electronic bund alarm to indicate a fuel leak. A manhole or inspection chamber in the bulk fuel tank is a good idea for service and maintenance, as well as fitting additional fittings for future tap off.
