Slim Rectangular Heating-Oil Storage Options
MacBlair lists slim rectangular single-skin heating-oil tanks around 1,100 and 1,150 litres, including a Titan bottom-outlet model. Their narrow shape can help where ground space is constrained, but capacity and footprint are only part of the choice.
A single-skin tank has no integrated outer bund. Before ordering, have the proposed location assessed for spill risk and the containment rules that apply in Northern Ireland. Nearby water, drains, boundaries and building openings can all affect the specification. The wider plumbing and heating range also includes bunded alternatives.
