What is a Single Skin Tank?
Our Range of Single Skin Tanks
A single skin tank consists of a single rotationally moulded container for the safe storage of fuel. Single skin tanks are suitable for most domestic installations at single family dwellings in the UK, unless the installation is situated within an environmentally sensitive area. In such circumstances it is recommended that a Risk Assessment is undertaken prior to tank installation( Risk assesment). Single skin tanks are not suitable for commercial, industrial, institutional, agricultural or industrial sites. For such installations, a Bunded Tank should always be used.

What is a Bunded Tank?Our Range of Bunded Tanks
A Bunded Tank consists of a single skin tank within an outer tank. Should the inner tank be overfilled the excess liquid will collect in the outer tank thereby protecting the environment from oil spillages. All Titan Bunded Tanks comply with capacity requirements of existing UK and forthcoming European environmental regulations. Bunded tanks are mandatory at commercial, industrial, institutional, agricultural and commercial premises throughout the United Kingdom and at environmentally sensitive installations at single family dwellings. They are also required for all installations in The Channel Islands.
