Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a slimline bunded oil tank needed?
Unlike single skin oil tanks, bunded tanks offer added protection against oil spillages, leaks and contamination – making them one of (if not) the safest ways to store fuel.
Bunded tanks can be large and difficult to manoeuvre. And if your garden or outdoor area is smaller than most, they can take up valuable space, too.
However, a slimline bunded oil tank can help to address such issues – boasting a slimmer design that fits neatly in narrower or awkward areas.
What are bunded oil tanks manufactured from?
Slimline bunded fuel tanks are typically made from steel or plastic.
All of our Harlequin oil tanks are manufactured from medium-density polyethylene (MDPE), which offers excellent resistance to diesel, fuels and oils. This is a material that doesn’t corrode and requires little to no maintenance.
Here at Cotterill Civils, we can assure you that every slimline bunded oil tank we supply is manufactured to an exceptionally high standard from only the highest quality materials.

How much will a bunded oil tank (slimline) cost?
