Does anywhere sell small rectangular oil tanks - about 300-350L

Count Hairyfoot

I'm moving an oil tank and a smaller tank would suit me much better as we usually use our wood burning stove anyway. I currently have a 1000L tank but something smaller around 300L would suit me fine. Only issue is it would have to be rectangular to give me the space saving - the circular ones have a diameter of 980mm which is too wide. Does anyone supply them? Ideally something coffin shaped - sorry cant think of another example!

Edit - actually I think 200L would do me

Will oil companies deliver that small a quantity?

You might end up buying it in 20L containers at a petrol station which is more expensive.

I've gotten 200 litres before. I use a local guy and will go in with another neighbor on a delivery if its a small amount. Even if I have to fill from 20L that's ok as I don't use oil very often anyway.

don't think you will get anything smaller remember tank has to be suitable for purpose

incase somebody comes up with a brainwave

Thanks I'd seen that one and it does seem to be the smallest in that shape. I think I'll have to look into getting a custom steel tank to get the size and shape I want.

I have seen these advertised online but have no idea if any good or not.

Now that's an interesting idea. I wonder are they any good and what the rules would be as regards location. Presumably it'd have to be fairly close to the boiler. I might check that out.

Just to close this out I bought the handyoil unit. My regular plumber installed it and it works great - exactly what I was looking for.
