Our collection of 5000 litre bunded oil tanks provides a robust and high-capacity storage solution for large residential estates, agricultural hubs, and commercial premises. At this scale, fuel management becomes about efficiency and security. A 5000L tank enables you to purchase fuel in significant bulk, protecting your budget against price fluctuations and ensuring you have an ample supply to power your heating systems or machinery through the peak of winter.
Safety is non-negotiable for large-volume storage. All our 5000 litre tanks are bunded, meaning they feature a dual-layer construction where the outer tank acts as a failsafe, capable of holding 110% of the inner tank's contents. This design is a legal requirement for all tanks over 2,500 litres in the UK, ensuring your installation meets OFTEC standards and current Oil Storage Regulations.
Depending on your site’s specific needs, we offer both MDPE plastic and heavy-duty steel options:
Plastic 5000L Bunded Tanks: Made from UV-stabilised, high-density polyethylene, these tanks are maintenance-free, rust-proof, and highly durable. They are the popular choice for standard commercial and agricultural installations.
Steel 5000L Bunded Tanks: For high-security environments, steel is the ultimate deterrent against fuel theft and vandalism. These tanks can also be custom-manufactured to specific footprints if you have restricted space on your site.
Environmental Protection: Every tank is designed to prevent ground contamination and protect local watercourses.
Security Features: Equipped with heavy-duty lockable cabinets or reinforced lids to secure fill points and maintenance valves.
Fuel Compatibility: Suitable for the storage of Kerosene (C1/C2), Diesel, Gas Oil, and HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil).
Industry-Leading Brands: We stock only the most trusted names in the industry, including Atlantis, Tuffa, and Harlequin, all of which come with extensive manufacturer warranties.
A 5000 litre oil tank weighs approximately 5 tonnes when full. It is essential that the tank is sited on a level, professionally engineered reinforced concrete base. Because of the size and weight of these units, we recommend consulting with an OFTEC-registered technician to ensure your site meets all fire safety distances and access requirements for delivery tankers.
