Tanks R Us wants you to get the most from your plastic diesel tanks and that’s why we provide products from industry-leading manufacturers Harlequin, Deso, Atlas, Titan and Swimer. Each brand is OFTEC registered, and their plastic diesel tanks have undergone rigorous testing and meet industry standards as well as European Trading regulations. With that said, you know you’ve got a premium quality product and that’s why we stock them.
Our range of plastic diesel tanks are all constructed using medium density polyethylene plastic and this means they won’t rust or corrode, are impartial to dropping and impact shock, and they won’t form stress cracks from internal pressure. This makes them a brilliant choice when it comes to storing fuel.
What’s more, since diesel is a degenerative fuel that interacts with certain metals like mild steel, aluminium, and copper, using polyethylene tanks to store it removes the risk of damage to the tank and contaminating the fuel itself.
Polyethylene diesel storage tanks are suitable for many different industries from agriculture to mining to haulage and construction. Each tank is designed for a specific purpose, such as the bunded tank which provides pollution control with its double walled construction to prevent chemical leakage and contamination, to the single skinned tank which is more appropriate for less busy or risky environments.
The plastic diesel tanks start small at 200 litres and go up to industrial scale capacity of 10,000 litres, making it easier for you to get the storage capacity you need with the various sizes available. Plus, they are effectively in the budget range and a cheaper, equally safe option to the more expensive steel diesel storage range.
With our extensive range of plastic diesel tanks, you’ll be hard pressed to not find what you’re looking for, but if you have any questions about them or anything else, do get in touch and our expert team will gladly help.
