Plastic Bunded Fuel Tanks

Manufactured from high-grade, UV-stabilised polyethylene, these plastic tanks provide the same 110% bunded protection as steel alternatives. While not suitable for all situations, they're perfect when weight, chemical resistance, or mobility matter most.

When Plastic Tanks Make Sense

Chemical Resistance

Polyethylene won't corrode from AdBlue, certain chemicals, or salt air. Perfect for coastal locations or aggressive substances that attack steel.

Easy Relocation

At a fraction of steel's weight, plastic tanks move easily. Ideal for temporary sites, rental situations, or operations that frequently relocate.

No Rust Ever

Plastic doesn't rust, flake, or need repainting. The colour runs through the material – scratches don't show and maintenance is minimal.

Quick Installation

Light enough for small equipment to position. No heavy cranes needed, reducing installation costs significantly.

Budget-Friendly

Lower initial cost than steel for standard sizes. Good choice for less demanding applications or temporary needs.

Best Applications

• AdBlue Storage: Polyethylene is AdBlue-compatible without special coatings. No corrosion risk from DEF's chemical properties.
• Temporary Sites: Construction projects, events, or seasonal operations. Easy to deploy and remove when work completes.
• Waste Oil Collection: Collect used oil for recycling. Chemical resistance handles contaminated fluids steel might struggle with.
• Remote Locations: Where crane access is impossible. Can be manually handled into position with basic equipment.
• Marine Environments: Coastal sites where salt air rapidly corrodes steel. Plastic tanks remain unaffected by marine conditions.

Limitations to Consider

• Maximum 2,500L capacity
• Not suitable for petrol storage
• Temperature limits (-20°C to +40°C)
• Less impact resistant than steel
• Limited customisation options
