Our Plastic Diesel Tank collection represents the most popular choice for modern fuel storage in the UK. Whether you need a compact mobile solution for site work or a massive bulk fuel station for a haulage fleet, plastic tanks offer a lightweight and 100% rust-proof alternative to traditional steel. Manufactured by industry leaders like Atlantis, Tuffa, Harlequin, and CEMO, these tanks are engineered to meet the highest safety and environmental standards.
Unlike other manufacturing methods, our plastic tanks are Rotationally Moulded. This process creates a single, seamless unit without joins or welds.
Leak Prevention: No seams means no weak points where the tank could split or leak over time.
Corrosion Resistance: High-grade MDPE is naturally resistant to the chemicals in diesel and HVO, ensuring the tank never rusts or corrodes, even in coastal or damp environments.
Impact Resilience: The flexible nature of the polymer allows it to absorb minor impacts that might dent or crack other materials.
We cater to every refueling scenario with two primary styles of plastic tanks:
Mobile & Transportable Units: Ranging from 60 to 980 litres, these are designed for the back of pick-ups or vans. Many are ADR compliant, allowing you to safely transport fuel on public roads to refuel machinery in situ.
Static Bunded Fuel Stations: Ranging from 1,350 to 30,000 litres, these are permanent installations. They come fully equipped with pumps, hoses, and meters, effectively giving you a private forecourt on your premises.
Every static plastic diesel tank in our range is Bunded. This "tank-within-a-tank" design is a legal requirement for most commercial and agricultural settings in the UK.
Secondary Containment: The outer skin is designed to hold 110% of the inner tank's capacity.
Regulatory Peace of Mind: Our tanks comply with the Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) Regulations, ensuring your business is protected against environmental liability and costly clean-up operations.
A tank is only as good as its dispensing equipment. Our plastic fuel stations come as complete kits, typically including:
Electric Pumps: High-flow rates (up to 70+ LPM) for rapid refueling.
Automatic Nozzles: To prevent overfills and messy spills.
Water-Separating Filters: Critical for maintaining the fuel quality required by modern, sensitive engines.
Fuel Management Systems: Optional upgrades that allow you to track usage per driver or vehicle via fobs or PIN codes.
Investing in a Plastic Diesel Tank from The Tank Shop ensures you have a maintenance-free, secure, and long-lasting asset that protects both your fuel and the environment.
