2450 Litre Horizontal Plastic Single Skin Oil Tank

The 2450 Litre Horizontal Single Skin Plastic Oil Tank is a robust, UK-manufactured storage solution designed for domestic heating oil installations where a large-capacity, low-profile tank is required. With a 2,450-litre (540-gallon) capacity, it provides an extended fuel reserve that reduces the frequency of deliveries — ideal for rural properties and homes reliant on oil-fired central heating.

Manufactured in the UK using a rotational moulding process, the tank is formed from a single, seamless piece of polyethylene — a production method that eliminates internal stress points and produces a structurally superior product compared to blow-moulded alternatives. The polymer compound incorporates UV-stabilising additives that protect the tank from solar degradation, ensuring a long, low-maintenance service life when correctly installed and maintained.
