The term 'installed' capacity refers to the capacity of all oil tanks installed on a single site. Therefore, where there is more than one tank on site, the maximum capacity of all tanks on-site must be added together to determine the total installed on-site capacity e.g. if there are 1,200 litres, 1,300 litres and 6,000 litres capacity tanks on a single site, then total installed on-site capacity will equal 9,900 litres.
On 1,350 litres and 2,500 litres capacity models, the hole must be drilled ABOVE the part line which separates the base of the bund (or outer tank), from the roof of the bund. The hole should be made weatherproof by fitting an electrical grommet with a suitable IP rating and the electric cable should incorporate a drip loop between the point at which it enters the tank and where it connects to the fuel delivery equipment. On 6,000 litres capacity tanks, the cable should enter into the cabinet of the tank ABOVE the height of the base of the door. Again, the hole should be made weatherproof by fitting an electrical grommet with a suitable IP rating and the electric cable should incorporate a drip loop between the point at which it enters the tank and where it connects to the fuel delivery equipment.
Mains electrical connections should only be made by a suitably qualified electrician and must be completed in accordance with prevailing statutory requirements. Carbery Plastics Limited will not be responsible for installations which are non-compliant with these requirements.
Yes, an 80 micron strainer / pre-filter is factory fitted as standard to the suction lines fitted to all Carbery Fuel Points.
We do not recommend the use of i-Track contents gauges with Carbery Fuel Points.
We recommend using either an Apollo Ultrasonic of Bund Alert fuel tank contents gauge with Carbery Fuel Points. Please note that all 6,000 litres capacity models are fitted with an Apollo Bund Alert , comprising an integrated bund alarm and contents fuel tank level monitor as standard.
No, the flow meter (where fitted) to Carbery Fuel Points is designed for private use only and is not approved for the resale of fuel.
Mechanical Flow meters have a typical accuracy of +/- 1% with 0.5% repeatability. To ensure accuracy, the flow meter should be recalibrated periodically.

Carbery Bunded Fuel Point are suitable for the storage and dispensing of BioDiesel blends up to B10 and manufactured in accordance with EN14214.
No. Best practice and statutory requirements dictate there should be no openings (other than the fuel supply pipe) below the maximum level of fuel in the tank. This reduces the risk of accidental discharge and thereby a pollution incident. In the event that fuel contaminants need to be removed from the tank, they should be extracted by an appropriately licensed contractor via the 4" inspection aperture.
No. Aviation Fuels must only be stored in containers purpose designed for this specialist application.
All 230v AC Carbery Fuel Points should be connected to a 13 amp, single phase 230v AC power supply with a Residual Current Device (RCD) fitted at connection point to the power supply. A drip loop should also be incorporated within the supply line at a point beyond which the cable enters the tank. Mains electrical connections must only be undertaken by a qualified electrician and must be inspected and tested regularly in accordance with regulatory requirements.

The term 'installed' capacity refers to the capacity of all oil tanks installed on a single site. Therefore, where there is more than one tank on site, the maximum capacity of all tanks on-site must be added together to determine the total installed on-site capacity e.g. if there are 1,200 litres, 1,300 litres and 6,000 litres capacity tanks on a single site, then total installed on-site capacity will equal 9,900 litres.
Each Carbery bottom outlet heating oil tank kit comprises the following components:
iTrack IT1000 and IT9000 contents gauges are not approved for use with Carbery heating oil tanks.
We recommend using either an Apollo Ultrasonic oil tank contents gauge or an Apollo Smart heating oil energy monitor with Carbery Heating Oil Tanks. Additionally, WatchmanSonic contents gauges are also compatible with Carbery tanks via the factory fitted content gauge attachment point.
No. Carbery tanks are not DIY products and should only be installed by an OFTEC Registered Technician or similarly competent person. For details of your nearest technician, please contact us. In Ireland, Carbery operates a tank installation service in partnership with leading independently accredited oil storage tank technicians.
Condensate will form in any oil tank as a result of the natural heating and cooling process, when the tank warms up during the day and cools at night. In Single Skin Oil Tanks it will collect in the base of the tank, below the outlet level. In Bunded Oil Tanks it may additionally form between the inner and outer tanks.
Oil tanks should be inspected annually by an OFTEC Registered Technician or similarly competent person, for the presence of condensate, using a water finding paste. Any residual water should then be removed and disposed of responsibly at this time.
All Carbery Heating Oil Tanks are manufactured to ensure compliance with European Standard EN13341 and OFTEC OFS T100. When installed by competent technician, all Carbery heating oil tanks can also assist in achieving compliance with specific product performance requirements contained within the following regulations and standards:
No. Good practice and statutory requirements require that there should be no openings below the maximum level of oil in the tank – with the exception of a fuel supply pipe connection. Hence a sludge cock is not fitted.
All Carbery Diesel and Heating Oil Tanks with a capacity of 2,500 litres or less, are supplied with a contents dipstick as standard.
No. Carbery Oil Tanks are unsuitable for the storage of aviation fuels, which require specialist storage, filtration and containment.
This is caused by the tank 'venting' – which is a harmless and expected process on warmer days. Unless the smell is accompanied by characteristics which may indicate a spill (e.g. a rainbow coloured sheen on wet days, increased fuel consumption, sudden contents loss etc.) or is detected on very cold days, there is ordinarily no need for concern.
Yes, all Carbery Single Skin Heating Oil Tanks are supplied complete with lockable fill / inspection point(s). Additionally, all Carbery Bunded Tanks also incorporate a lockable equipment hatch too.
The actual capacity of a tank is the maximum volume of liquid the tank will hold and is often referred to as the brimful or brim full volume. The nominal capacity of a tank, sometimes referred to as the operating capacity, is equivalent to 95% of the actual capacity as defined by European Standard EN13341 and referenced in OFTEC's OFS T100 standard.
Sight Gauges are suitable for use with Single Skin Oil Tanks only and should comply with the requirements of British Standard PS799 Part 2 and OFTEC's OFS E103 standard. Please be aware that sight gauges are unsuitable for use with Bunded Oil Tanks.
As a minimum, all Carbery Oil Tanks should be installed on to a flat, level, fire resistant surface, capable of supporting the weight of the tank when fully laden. The base area of the tank in its entirety must be supported and where concrete slabs are used, they must be at least 50mm thick. Detailed installation instructions are supplied with each Carbery Oil Tank. OFTEC requires the base extend at least 300mm beyond the extremities of the tank and it must fully support the entire base area of the tank in its entirety. Piers are inherently unsuitable for this purpose and failure to adequately support any oil tank may result in catastrophic product failure and will significantly reduce the operational lifetime of the product.
For further information on base design and construction, contact OFTEC, an OFTEC Registered Technician or a similarly competent person.
This socket facilitates operation of LRC type Overfill Prevention Systems; it is not for consumer or installer use.
Yes.
Carbery Oil Tanks are manufactured from an oil resistant grade of Medium Density Polyethylene – an inert material, possessing excellent chemical and impact resistance properties.
Carbery Oil Tanks are unsuitable for direct underground burial. However, Carbery Bunded Oil Tanks they can be placed within a suitably constructed, purpose designed, underground chamber. For more information and guidance, contact OFTEC, an OFTEC Registered Technician or a similarly competent person.
At installations with a total installed capacity of less than 3500 litres, tanks should not be fitted closer than 1.8 metres to a non-fire rated (30 minutes minimum) wall or eaves. Where this clearance is unachievable, the protection measures stated in British Standard BS 5410: Part 1 should be provided e.g. the construction of a wall with 30 minutes fire-resistance and which extends at least 300mm above and beyond the widest points of the tank. It will also be necessary to protect exposed, combustible eaves which form part of a roof within 1.8 metres of the top of a tank to provide a minimum of 30 minutes fire resistance. Fire resistant cladding can be applied to the eaves in order to ensure compliance.
For guidance at installations with a storage capacity greater than 3500 litres, or for fire barrier construction requirements, contact OFTEC, an OFTEC Registered Technician or a similarly competent person.
Oil Tanks should never be installed within the habitable area of any building and should instead be contained within a specially constructed, enclosed chamber. Detailed requirements do exist for the installation of oil storage tanks within habitable buildings and domestic garages - for more information and guidance, contact OFTEC, an OFTEC Registered Technician or a similarly competent person.
If the installation has a total installed storage capacity of less than 3500 litres, the tank should not be placed closer than 760mm to a combustible boundary e.g. a wooden fence. The 760mm clearance assumes no flu outlets or buildings between the tank and the boundary. Where this clearance is unachievable, the protection measures stated in British Standard BS 5410: Part 1 should be provided e.g. the construction of a wall with 30 minutes fire-resistance and which extends at least 300mm above and beyond the widest points of the tank.
For guidance at installations with a storage capacity greater than 3500 litres, or for fire barrier construction requirements, contact OFTEC, an OFTEC Registered Technician or a similarly competent person.
A Bunded Tank comprises a tank within a tank. Fuel is stored in the inner tank, whilst the outer tank acts as a failsafe. In the event of a spill, surplus fuel will be held in the outer tank and a potential pollution incident avoided.
A Single Skin Oil Tank is a single piece rotationally moulded storage container. Unlike Bunded Tanks, Single Skin Oil Tanks do not incorporate any form of secondary containment. Before installing any Single Skin Oil Tank, a Risk Assessment must be completed by an OFTEC Registered Technician or a similarly competent person in accordance with OFTEC Technical Instruction Book 3 and prevailing statutory requirements.
