Diesel and Gas Oil Bunded Tank Case Study
Project: Split Compartment, Diesel and Gas Oil Bunded Tank
Location: Leeds, UK
Overview of the Problem
The customer had an existing split compartment tank storing Diesel and Gas Oil (red diesel) and required a larger capacity of Gas Oil.
The existing tank and equipment was already in poor condition and the current location of the existing Diesel, Gas Oil and Adblue pumps and trailing hoses were causing a site health and safety issue.
Current Tank Causing a Health & Safety Issue
The Solution
Octane were asked to come up with a solution to solve all these problems for the customer.
To achieve this, we had a custom made 48,000 litre, (40,000 litre white diesel. 8,000 litre red diesel) split compartment bunded fuel tank manufactured to replace the existing rotting tank.
Their new tank would have a larger capacity, in a smaller footprint. This which was achieved by bringing the dispenser equipment outside of the tank cabinet and onto a standalone island. This configuration helped save space overall.
New 48,000 litre bunded tank
A new Octane commercial twin Diesel/Gas Oil pump and an Octane AdBlue remote pedestal-mounted nozzle holster were installed on a dedicated fuel island. This upgrade now allows vehicles to fuel up with all three fuels from the same location, which was not possible before.
Octane’s twin commercial fuel dispensers are designed with high mast hoses to eliminate trip hazards from trailing hoses.
The groundwork team installed a new reinforced concrete pad for the tank and created an island for the fuel pumps.
They also fitted a drainage system, providing essential environmental protection by safely managing and containing any potential fuel spillages.
The end result was a larger capacity bunded tank in a smaller footprint with no health & safety hazards.
