Fuel stored on site without a bunded bowser can create a pollution risk, particularly near the River Avon and Kennet and Avon Canal. If you’re looking for a fuel bowser hire in Melksham or Wiltshire, call 01380 828988.
Do You Need a Bunded Fuel Bowser?
A bunded bowser captures diesel if the inner tank leaks. Near the River Avon, the Kennet and Avon Canal and any watercourse, unbunded storage risks fines and environmental damage. For sites running multiple diesel machines, a bowser eliminates repeated fuel deliveries. Best position: firm, level ground away from drains and watercourses. Call 01380 828988.
Fuel Bowser Specifications
Bunded 250-gallon steel diesel bowsers. Bund meets 110% containment requirement. Hand pump or electric pump, hose and nozzle included. Forklift pockets for repositioning.
Full specifications for the fuel bowser range are listed in the Coppard online catalogue.

Do I need a bunded fuel bowser for my site?
A bunded fuel bowser is designed with secondary containment to help capture diesel if the inner tank leaks, making it a sensible choice for storing and refuelling plant on construction, agricultural and remote sites. GOV.UK’s oil-storage guidance for businesses explains that mobile bowsers used for business purposes may need secondary containment capable of holding at least 110% of the container’s capacity. Tell Coppard’s Melksham team how much fuel you expect to use, which machines need refuelling and how long the bowser will remain on site, and they can recommend a practical capacity for your operation.
