Fuel on site without a bunded bowser is a pollution risk. If you are looking for a fuel bowser hire near me in Reading, call 0118 979 2828.
Do You Need a Bunded Fuel Bowser?
A bunded bowser is designed with secondary containment to capture diesel if the inner tank leaks. Near the Kennet, the Loddon, the Thames and any watercourse across Berkshire, unbunded storage risks fines, clean-up costs and environmental damage. For sites running multiple diesel machines, a bowser eliminates repeated fuel deliveries. The best position is on firm, level ground away from drains and watercourses. Call 0118 979 2828.
Fuel Bowser Specifications
Bunded 250-gallon steel diesel bowsers. Bund meets the 110% containment requirement. Includes hand pump or electric pump, hose and nozzle. Forklift pockets for repositioning. Hand pump works without mains power.
Full specifications for the fuel bowser range are listed in the Coppard online catalogue.
Fuel Bowser Hire for Thames Valley Sites
Sites near watercourses face strict pollution control. Development sites across Shinfield, Bracknell and Wokingham typically need a bowser from the start. For civil engineering along the M4 corridor, bunded fuel storage is standard.
Coppard supplies the bowser alongside the machines from the same Reading depot.
Using Your Fuel Bowser Safely
Place on firm, level ground away from drains. Keep the nozzle locked when not in use. A spill kit should be available on site whenever fuel is stored.
Delivered by flatbed. Collection also available with a suitable vehicle. Call 0118 979 2828.

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 Reading 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.
