Welcome to Tanks For Everything

We are a family-run business and our aim is to provide you with a “one stop shop” for all your liquid storage requirements!

You will see that we have a wide range of tanks on our site for every application but our service does not stop there. We also provide the fittings and accessories required to complete the installation.

The vast majority of oil tanks that we supply – either steel or plastic are bunded (i.e. a tank within a tank). This is the safest way to store oil and in most instances, a bunded oil tank will be required to satisfy the current regulations. A smaller selection of single skinned tanks is also on the site, if you are planning to put the tank inside a rendered bund or if your installer has established via a risk assessment that a single skinned tank is permitted.

Diesel tanks are ideal for storing fuel for your vehicles and are available as a basic tank with a pump and hose and nozzle or with an increasing number of available options such as filters and flow meters. They can be powered by a number of options including mains electric, battery or hand pumps.

Water tanks are increasingly popular with the reported shift in the climate from farmers storing water for their crops and animals to new builds were rainwater is harvested to water the garden and feed water features. We have a huge number of shapes and sizes available.

Take time to have a look at our septic tanks and sewage treatment ranges. In more rural locations or where mains drainage is not available, we will have something to suit your needs, whether you are planning to discharge into a drainage field or whether you want a system that will treat the waste and enable it go directly into a water course.

We are approved distributors for Atlas Tanks, DESO Tanks, Titan Tanks, Harlequin Tanks, Carbery Tanks, Tricel Tanks, Premier Tech Aqua Tanks and many, many more.

Free delivery is available throughout all of England and Wales Mainland destinations. We aim to deliver all of our tanks within 3-10 working days from the date of ordering and payment being made. However, some special orders, such as steel products, may take longer.

If you require any information that is not provided on the website, do not hesitate to contact us. We are more than happy to help in any way we can.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Frequently Asked Questions

OIL STORAGE TANKS:

What is the difference between a single skin oil tank and a bunded oil tank?

A single skin tank has no secondary containment so if it leaks the oil leaks into the environment, whereas a bunded tank has an inner and outer skin which means that should the inner tank leak the oil is contained in the second skin which is also known as the bund.

What is the manufacturer's warranty on a single skin or bunded plastic oil tank?

2 years on a single skin plastic tank and 10 years on a bunded plastic tank

Can I install my own oil tank?

It is recommended that all oil tanks are installed by either an OFTEC registered technician or other competent person.

Do oil tanks require any maintenance?

Steel tanks require painting every couple of years or so. Plastic tanks are generally maintenance free - however all tanks and fittings should be checked regularly for signs of leaks and also at least annually by an OFTEC registered technician or other competent person.

My existing tank has a capacity of 2700 litres (600 gallons), would a replacement of the same capcity need to be bunded?

All oil storage tanks over 2500 litres need to be bunded at a domestic property, all oil tanks over 200 litres at commercial property need to be bunded.

Can a new plastic tank be fitted onto the existing piers of my old steel tank?

The base of the plastic tank would need to be fully supported, so concrete lintels and/or concrete paving slabs should be installed over the piers so that the pastic tank doesn't over hang at all.

My existing plastic tank is on wooden sleepers is this ok?

No, all plastic tanks should be on a non-combustible base, such as concrete lintels, paving slabs or concrete.

How big should the concrete base be for my new oil tank be?

Without requiring fire proofing an oil tank must be sited at least 1.8m away from a combustible structure, non-fire rated eaves, door or window into a building or boiler flue termination. The tank should also be 760mm from a non-fire rated boundary.

Can I position my oil tank next to a low level boundary wall?

Unless the wall extends 300mm beyond the height and the ends of the tank and has 30 minutes fire resistance the tank should be 760mm away.

Is it okay to install the tank next to my timber shed?

The tank should be at least 1.8m away from the shed or a fire proof barrier needs to be installed which extends 300mm beyond the height and ends of the tank and has a 30 minute fire resistance.

Do the fire regs apply to my domestic garage as no one lives in it?

Yes, the garage is classed as part of a domestic dwelling so the regulations apply to a garage as well.

Is there and alternative to fitting a fire proof barrier?

Yes, either relocate the tank so it is far enough away from the hazard not to need one or fit an Envirostore Firecheck or TUFFA Fire Stop tank.

Are Envirostore Firecheck or TUFFA Fire Stop tanks OFTEC approved?

No, but they have Local Authority Building Control (LABC) approval, please see each product for the certification.

Bunded oil tanks or single skin oil tanks?

Bunded oil tanks consist of two separate tanks; the inner tank holds the oil and the outer tank protects the inner tank. This makes bunded oil tanks more secure and they are the recommended choice of commercial oil tanks in the UK. Single skin oil tanks are popular residential oil tanks, as there is less environmental risk involved. They have only one outer layer instead of two.

The importance of septic tanks in the UK

Treating crude wastewater is important for any residential premises where there is no traditional plumbing system. To do this, solids need to be broken down using a reliable septic tank.
