What is a single skin steel oil tank?

A single skin steel oil tank is a fuel container with only one wall or “skin” of steel layering between the interior and exterior. Steel is a notoriously strong and resistant metal, which makes it an ideal material for fuel containment. Single skin tanks are basic yet sustainable, ideal for both domestic and industrial environments. Compared to other oil tank types, these steel tanks have a minimalist look about them – our single skin steel tanks are recognisable for being flat and featureless, in contrast to other tank types that have more garnishing to indicate the presence of protective padding or bunding walls.
