We supply and install quality plastic heating oil tanks suitable for domestic use across Leinster. All tanks meet current standards and are selected based on safety, available space and required capacity.
Tank Types
Choosing the Right Oil Tank
In some locations a bunded tank is recommended or required. In others, a single skin tank may be suitable.
The tank type depends on factors such as tank location, surrounding area, access and the conditions on site.
Typical guide distances:
within 10 metres of water or drainage
within 50 metres of a drinking water source
Suitable where:
installation position meets safety distances
lower cost option is preferred
base is stable and level

650 litre oil tank
1000 litre oil tank
