i thought every tank over 200 litres had to be bunded for fuel?

 

i had to change my diesel tank last year because of this

Ah as you already have other tanks on site then yes you need a bunded one. Not because the others are bunded but because the "site" is storing more than the allowed amount (1500L for agri use, 2500 for new domestic use).

 

If its inside a building you also dont need a bunded tank.

 

There is or was an exemption for temporary tanks of upto 1000L but cant find that bit now.
