What is a Single Skin or Non-Bunded Tank?
A single skin tank consists of a single rotationally moulded container, in which fuel is stored. Single Skin Tanks are suitable for most installations at single family dwellings in the United Kingdom unless the installation is situated within an environmentally sensitive area. To determine whether or not the site can be described as environmentally sensitive, it is recommended that a Risk Assessment is undertaken prior to tank installation. In anticipation of possible future environmental legislation, consideration should be given to fitting a bunded tank even where a single skin tank will currently suffice.
