Fuel Stations
& 2005 Legislation

From 1st September 2005 new legislation came into force affecting fuel storage on farms:

• The legislation now in force requires that all new fuel tanks should be Bunded
• All "White Diesel" should only be stored in Bunded Tanks
• Where a total of 3500 litres or more of "Red Diesel" is stored on a farm, this should also be in Bunded Tanks
• Additionally farmers and others storing less than 3500 litres should consider:
  1. The Environment Agency will crack down on anyone with a spillage, regardless of tank size, imposing fines of up to £5000
  2. Diesel is now very expensive to waste in leakages
  3. Some fuel companies will not fill high level tanks any more.

Since the new legislation we have received considerable demand for tanks, complete stations, waste oil tanks etc., and have found TUFFA Tanks to be a very farmer friendly business with quality tanks and competitive prices.
