A bunded bowser can help provide secondary containment for fuel storage, but hiring a bowser does not automatically make every site or use compliant. The person responsible for the site still needs to meet the applicable oil-storage and pollution-prevention requirements.

Choose Between Skid-Mounted and Trailer-Mounted Fuel Storage

Coppard’s current range gives customers two distinct 250 gallon configurations. The skid-mounted bowser is specifically listed as bunded. The trailer-mounted unit is specifically listed with pump, hoses and nozzle.

Selection should depend on how the bowser will be positioned and used, how fuel will be dispensed, whether the unit needs to be moved and the site’s oil-storage requirements.

Call 0118 979 2828 with the intended fuel and site arrangement.

  • – Fuel Bowser – Trailer Mounted – C/W Pump, Hoses and Nozzle: 250 gallon.

Full specifications for the fuel bowser range are listed in the Coppard online catalogue.

Fuel Bowser Hire for Reading Construction and Plant

Fuel bowsers can support projects running diesel-powered plant where a suitable on-site storage and dispensing arrangement is required. Coppard can also supply excavators, dumpers, generators and other plant through the Reading operation, allowing the fuel requirement to be considered alongside the machines using it.

 

The relevant legal and environmental requirements depend on the actual fuel, container, site and use.

Check Secondary Containment, Security and Dispensing Requirements

Before hire, confirm the fuel type, proposed position, dispensing method and whether the skid-mounted or trailer-mounted configuration is required.

GOV.UK states that business oil-storage rules generally apply to containers of 201 litres or more and specifically include mobile bowsers. A single mobile bowser needs secondary containment with capacity equal to 110% of the container. Additional requirements apply to taps, pumps, valves and permanently attached delivery pipes so oil cannot flow when the equipment is not in use.

The site operator remains responsible for applying the regulations to the actual installation and use.

Call 0118 979 2828 to confirm the exact bowser configuration and current stock.
