Tank Regulations

The Fuel Storage Regulations are there to protect the environment and to protect your home. If you are unsure, please call us on 01423 770666 for help and advice. Some of your questions are answered below:

Q.WHAT REGULATIONS AFFECT DOMESTIC FUEL STORAGE?

The Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001.

Q.TO WHICH SITES DO THEY APPLY?

Private dwellings storing over 3500 litres but it should be noted that Building Regulations reduce this to 2500 litres.

Q.WHAT IS THE TIMESCALE?

The timescale for The Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001 was 1st September 2005, whereby all relevant domestic installations affected must be bunded.

Q.HOW CAN I ENSURE THAT A BUND COMPLIES WITH THE REGULATIONS?

Install an integrally bunded tank (OFST100). Alternatively, you could build a masonry or concrete bund that complies with the stringent requirements of the Pollution Prevention Guidance notes PPG 2 (above ground oil storage tanks) and PPG 26 (oil drum storage) issued by the Environment Agency. Masonry and concrete bunds are covered by Ciria Report 163.
The Titan Environmental bunded range of EcoSafe tanks will meet all your regulatory needs in one easy step.

Q.IF I INSTALL THE WRONG TYPE OF TANK NOW, MUST IT BE CHANGED?

Yes. It must be replaced with a bunded tank, or be bunded straight away.

Q.WHERE ELSE SHOULD A BUNDED TANK BE INSTALLED?

When on completion of the OFTEC form TI/133 (risk assessment) by an OFTEC qualified engineer, your tank is deemed to need bunding. See the checks below:

• Tank capacity in excess of 2500 litres
• Tank within 10 metres of controlled water
• Tank located where a spillage could run into an open drain or to a loose fitting manhole cover
• Tank within 50 metres of a borehole or spring
• Tank over hard ground or hard-surfaced ground that could enable spillage run-off to reach controlled water
• Tank located in a position where the vent pipe outlet is not visible from the fill point
• Tank supplying heating oil to a building other than a single family dwelling

Please contact our sales team with any queries, or visit the Titan website if you would like to be put in touch with a Titan Accredited Installer for an oil storage tank inspection. For more information about tanks and regulations go to - www.titanenv.com
