UK Bunded Fuel Tanks

Kerosene Fuel Tanks

Safe Kerosene Storage for Heating and Aviation

Bunded tanks specifically designed for kerosene fuel. From domestic heating oil to aviation fuel storage. Full compliance with kerosene-specific regulations.

Kerosene requires careful storage – whether it's heating oil for buildings, aviation fuel for aircraft, or industrial kerosene for processes. Our kerosene tanks provide the secure, regulation-compliant storage that protects this valuable fuel from contamination and theft.

Every kerosene tank features appropriate venting, materials suitable for kerosene's properties, and safety features specific to this fuel type. With capacities from 1,000 to 50,000 litres, we supply solutions for domestic homes through to commercial aviation facilities.

Why Kerosene Storage Differs from Other Fuels

Lower Flash Point

Kerosene needs appropriate safety measures. Our tanks include proper venting and optional flame arrestors for enhanced safety.

Sensitivity to Contamination

Water or dirt in kerosene causes serious problems, especially in aviation. Sealed systems and water traps maintain fuel quality.

Thermal Expansion Properties

Kerosene expands more than diesel with temperature. Proper venting and fill limits prevent overflow issues.

Multiple Fuel Grades

We configure tanks for your specific kerosene type, ensuring material compatibility and optimal performance.

Strict Regulatory Requirements

Aviation fuel storage has additional requirements. We ensure compliance with all relevant standards.
