What is a self bunded fuel tank?

A self-bunded fuel tank (also known as a double-walled fuel tank) is a storage tank specifically designed to safely hold fuels, oils, or other hazardous liquids. The term "self-bunded" means it has a built-in secondary containment layer — essentially a tank within a tank.
Key Features:
    • Double wall structure: The inner tank holds the fuel, while the outer tank (bund) serves as a safety barrier to contain spills or leaks.
    • Environmental protection: If the inner tank fails, the outer shell prevents fuel from contaminating the surrounding area.
    • Compliance: These tanks often meet environmental and safety regulations for above-ground fuel storage.
    • Portability: Many self-bunded tanks are modular and can be transported to remote or temporary worksites.
    • Capacity: They come in a wide range of sizes — from a few hundred litres to tens of thousands of litres.
Common Uses:
    • Refuelling for construction or mining equipment
    • Fuel storage for farms or transport fleets
    • Diesel or petrol storage at remote locations
    • Emergency fuel reserves


Do fuel tanks need to be bunded?

Yes, fuel tanks often need to be bunded — especially in commercial, industrial, or environmentally sensitive settings — to comply with safety and environmental regulations.
When Is Bunding Required?
Legally Required If:
    • You’re storing large volumes of fuel (commonly >1,000 litres, but this varies by region)
    • The tank is located in areas where spills could harm the environment (near waterways, storm drains, or sensitive land)
    • Your local regulations (e.g., Australian Standards AS1940 or UK’s Environment Agency rules) mandate bunding
Common Situations That Require Bunds:
      • Fuel storage on construction and mining sites
      • Farms or transport depots storing diesel or petrol
      • Above-ground storage tanks at businesses
      • Anywhere fuel leakage could pose a fire, explosion, or pollution risk
