 201 litres anything more and you need a secondary containment with 110% capacity

Unless it's portable, at least thats what a delivery drive told me. I bring an IBC to meet them at the road and they fill it up. Never been queried to date.

Not if in the course of business. Domestically you can store up to 3000ish litres in a single skin. On mobile kit, like bowsers and grab tanks there are also rules on where the taps areand whether they are lockable.

Delivery driver will put it in tank what ever you have bunded or not.

OFTEC Told me 1000 litres max but that was 3 years ago.

OFTEC is about domestic oil heating isn't it?

This probably explains what the driver was on about but I got lost trying to work it out. http://www.hse.gov.uk/cdg/manual/commonproblems/bowsers.htm
