In the power generation and energy sectors, resilience is the only metric that matters. Whether you are managing a data centre, a standby power facility, or an oil distribution hub, fuel supply failure is not an option. A generator that fails to start due to fuel starvation or contamination can result in catastrophic financial loss and reputational damage.
At UK Bunded Fuel Tanks, we engineer high-capacity, steel fuel storage systems designed to guarantee continuity. Manufactured in the UK to BS 799-5 standards, our tanks provide the secure, compliant infrastructure required to keep the lights on.
We do not just supply tanks; we engineer complete fuel management ecosystems. By choosing a Bespoke Steel Tank, you ensure your fuel infrastructure is as robust as the generators it serves.
We manufacture tanks up to 100,000 litres and can interlink multiple units to create vast fuel farms. This ensures you have sufficient runtime—be it 24, 48, or 72 hours—to ride out prolonged grid outages without needing immediate replenishment.
To combat diesel bug, we integrate automated fuel polishing systems directly into the tank design. These systems circulate and filter the fuel periodically, removing water and sediment to ensure the diesel is pristine and ready for combustion at a moment's notice.
We design tanks with specific flow and return connections to suit your engine's requirements. We can include twin-pump sets, duplex filters, and BMS (Building Management System) integration, allowing your central control room to monitor fuel levels and pump status in real time.
Our manufacturing process is designed to withstand the most rigorous audits.
We manufacture strictly to British Standards for oil storage tanks. This covers plate thickness, welding procedures, and pressure testing, providing the certification required for insurance validation.
For high-volume storage, compliance is mandatory. Our tanks feature 110% bund capacity and can be fitted with audible and visual bund alarms to detect any breach in the inner vessel immediately.
Do you provide tanks for data centres?
Yes. We supply bespoke tanks for data centres across the UK, focusing on redundancy, fuel polishing, and remote monitoring to ensure "five nines" reliability.
Can you install fuel polishing on existing tanks?
While we primarily manufacture new tanks with integrated polishing, we can design the tank with the necessary ports for you to retrofit third-party polishing units, or we can supply the tank pre-fitted with the equipment.
What is the maximum capacity you can manufacture?
We manufacture single units up to roughly 200,000 litres depending on transport logistics. We can create fuel farms with effectively unlimited capacity.
Do your tanks integrate with Building Management Systems (BMS)?
Yes. We can fit 4-20mA hydrostatic gauges and high/low-level probes that output data directly to your BMS, allowing for centralised monitoring of fuel stocks and leak detection.
