What's the difference between single skinned & bunded oil tanks?
If you’re trying to choose between a single skin and a bunded model, it helps to understand the differences and how they work so you can pick the best fit for your home.
Single Skin Oil Tanks
A single skin tank has just one outer wall to hold your fuel. These are usually more affordable, lighter to move around, and easier to look after or service.
Bunded Oil Tanks
A bunded oil tank uses a twin-wall design, which is basically a tank inside another tank. The inner container holds your heating oil safely, whilst the outer wall completely surrounds it, acting as a safety net, catching any oil leaks and reducing the risk of environmental pollution.
Which oil tank is right for your home?
As well as picking between single skin or bunded, you will need to decide whether a plastic or metal tank suits your home best. Here is a quick look at how they compare.
Metal Oil Tanks
- Tough and built to last for decades.
- Can hold much larger volumes of oil.
- Provides a much stronger defence against fuel thieves.
- Once installed, it can be harder and more costly to move.
- Can suffer from rust and corrosion over the years.
- Requires a bigger investment upfront.
Plastic Oil Tanks
- Lightweight material and more affordable.
- Completely rust-proof, so they won’t break down from wet weather.
- Keeps the fuel at a steadier temperature over longer periods.
- Smaller limits on total fuel storage capacity compared to steel.
- Can become brittle if exposed to harsh, direct sunlight for too long.
- Slightly easier for thieves to target.
Slimline oil tanks for your home
Tight on outdoor space? One of our slimline oil tanks for homes could be just what you need.
Designed with a narrow shape but plenty of room inside, slimline oil tanks typically hold between 650 and 1,400 litres of fuel. They are perfect for smaller homes where space is at a premium. Because they are so slender, they can slide neatly into tight alleyways, and they work brilliantly for homeowners.
Domestic slimline oil tanks are available in both steel and plastic, with single skin or bunded options available. When it is completely full and depending on the size of your home, a slimline tank usually gives you around six months of heating, though a really freezing winter might mean you need to top it up three or four times across the year.
In addition, slimline oil tanks are generally easier on the eye and, importantly, easier to hide or disguise for when guests visit.
