Installation Advice

Installation Advice
OFTEC Technical Information Booklet TI/131 gives advice on the siting of tanks. The pictures on this website are not an installation guide.
All tanks must be installed on a firm, flat surface (e.g. concrete or paving without gaps) and be supported across the entire base. This support should extend beyond the tank’s base by 300mm on all sides.
Atlas Tank Capacity litres shown are ‘brim full’ unless otherwise shown

Before Installation
The installer should carry out a risk assessment before installing a single skinned tank. TI133D Risk Assessment Forms are available from either Atlas Tanks or OFTEC. Please note that regional requirements may vary. If installing a tank at commercial, industrial or institutional premises the tank must be bunded.

Atlas Warranty
Atlas Truck Depots are guaranteed for 1 year. Atlas single skin models are guaranteed for 2 years and Atlas bunded tanks and Fuel Depotsare guaranteed for 10 years (excluding pumps, Watchman and SpillStop which has a 12month warranty. Dispensing hozes and nozzles have a 3 month warranty).

The warranty may be invalid if the tank has been incorrectly installed, misused, damaged or repaired without the approval of Atlas Tanks.

Atlas Tanks should be installed by a qualified OFTEC approved installer and the product must be fitted in accordance with OFTEC codes of practice.
