Self Bunded Fuel Tanks

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 over 1,000 litres, though this may vary by region)
The tank is located in areas where spills could harm the environment (e.g., near waterways, storm drains, or sensitive land)
Your local regulations mandate bunding (e.g., Australian Standards AS1940 or the UK’s Environment Agency rules)
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
