A single skin tank consists of a single rotationally moulded container, in which fuel is stored. Single Skin Tanks are suitable for most installations at single family dwellings in the United Kingdom – unless the installation is situated within an environmentally sensitive area. To determine whether or not the site can be described as environmentally sensitive, it is recommended that a Risk Assessment is undertaken prior to tank installation. In anticipation of possible future environmental legislation, consideration should be given to fitting a bunded tank – even where a single skin tank will currently suffice.
