2440 Litre Fire Protected Plastic Bunded Oil Tank – Tuffa Tanks
The 2440-litre plastic bunded heating oil tank from Tuffa offers a high-capacity, fire-protected storage solution designed for compliance, safety, and efficiency. Constructed from durable, UV-stabilised, corrosion-resistant polyethylene, this tank is rotationally moulded and hand-fabricated with a fully integrated bund holding at least 110% of the primary tank’s capacity.
With a built-in 30 or 60-minute fire protection system, you can safely install this tank just 300mm from buildings or boundaries—without the need for costly external fire barriers. It’s ideal for replacing outdated tanks located within 1.8m of structures and non-compliant with current OFTEC regulations.

30 Minute Fire Protection
- This option allows for the installation of the oil tank just 300mm away from surrounding buildings or structures. However, if access is needed (for instance, to fill the tank), a minimum clearance of 600mm must be maintained to ensure safety.
60 Minute Fire Protection
- With 60-minute fire protection, this tank can be installed indoors—such as in a garage or outbuilding—where external installation isn’t practical. For safe operation, the tank must be placed in an uninhabitable area (e.g., a garage), positioned at the lowest possible level within the structure. Furthermore, a minimum 300mm clearance from internal walls and structures is required, or 600mm where access is necessary.
