UK Bunded Fuel Tanks

Fuel Tank Hire

Need reliable on-site fuel storage without the capital investment? Our fuel tank hire service provides immediate access to compliant, ready-to-use bunded tanks. Perfect for construction projects, temporary sites, and seasonal operations across the UK.

Flexible Fuel Storage When You Need It

Not every fuel storage requirement needs a permanent solution. Whether you're managing a six-month construction project or need emergency backup storage, hiring a fuel tank makes commercial sense. You get the same quality and compliance as our manufactured tanks, without the upfront costs or long-term commitment.

Our hire fleet includes tanks from 1,000 to 10,000 litres, all fully bunded and ready for immediate deployment. Every tank meets BS 799-5 standards and comes with the dispensing equipment you need to keep your operations running.

Why Hire Rather Than Buy?

Project-Based Flexibility

Construction site running for 8 months? Hire a tank for exactly that period. No need to purchase equipment you won't need afterwards or worry about resale values.

Cash Flow Management

Convert a large capital expense into manageable monthly payments. Keep your capital free for project costs whilst ensuring reliable fuel supply for diggers, generators, and site vehicles.

Immediate Availability

We always maintain hire stock. When you need a tank next week, not in 12 weeks, hiring gets you operational fast. Collection or delivery arranged within days.

No Maintenance Worries

Annual inspections, gauge calibrations, pump servicing? That's our responsibility. You just use the tank. If anything needs attention, we handle it.

Try Before You Buy

Unsure about your long-term fuel storage needs? Hire first, then if you decide to purchase, we can discuss converting your hire into a purchase agreement.

Perfect for These Situations

Construction and Development Sites

Property developers and building contractors use our hire tanks to fuel excavators, dumpers, and generators. Set up a central fuelling point instead of relying on jerry cans or daily deliveries. Typical hire periods range from 3 to 18 months depending on project length.

Temporary Backup Storage

Main tank being replaced or repaired? Our hire service provides continuity. We've helped facilities maintain operations during tank upgrades, contamination clean-ups, and insurance claims.

Seasonal Operations

Agricultural contractors hiring extra equipment for harvest. Event companies needing generator fuel storage for summer festivals. Hire what you need, when you need it.

Emergency Response

Flooding, fire damage, or equipment failure? We can deploy hire tanks quickly to keep essential services running. Previous emergency deployments include hospitals, data centres, and transport depots.

Common Hire Questions

What's the minimum hire period?
