It is important that fuel tanks are adequately supported to avoid the risk of a tank failure or spillage occurring. For plastic tanks it is important that the tank base provides continual structural support, regardless of and changes in the ground conditions throughout the year. The base supporting your tank should be:

• Adequate for the weight of the tank and its contents when full (1000lts weighs approx. one ton).
• Non-combustible, imperforate and level.
• Constructed of concrete, paving slabs or stonework.
• Large enough to extend 300mm beyond all sides of the tank.
