Looking for affordable, reliable used oil tanks or equipment? LV Fuel Services offers a carefully curated selection of used and refurbished oil tanks, generators, and fuel dispensers to suit a wide range of domestic and commercial applications across the UK.
Used Oil Tanks for Sale
Our stock of used oil tanks includes both single-skinned and bunded options in plastic and steel, across a range of capacities — giving you flexibility depending on your site requirements, budget, and installation environment.
Used Single-Skinned Oil Tanks
Single-skinned tanks are a cost-effective choice for fuel storage in lower-risk environments where regulations permit their use. Suitable for certain above-ground installations, they remain a practical option for customers looking to manage costs without compromising on functionality.
Common sizes of used single-skinned tanks available include:
- 1,000 litres – the most popular size for home heating oil storage
- 1,350 litres – a mid-range option for higher-demand domestic use
- 2,500 litres – suited to larger properties or light commercial use
Available in plastic (polyethylene) and steel.
Used Bunded Oil Tanks
Bunded tanks feature a double-wall construction that provides a secondary containment layer, making them the preferred — and in many cases required — choice for domestic and commercial properties. Bunded tanks help prevent fuel leaks, protect groundwater, and comply with environmental regulations including the Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) Regulations. If you’re replacing an old single-skin tank, upgrading to a bunded model is strongly recommended.
Sizes of our used bunded oil tanks typically available include:
- 1,000 litres – entry-level bunded option for domestic installations
- 1,350 litres – a popular mid-size choice for homes and smallholdings
- 2,500 litres – suitable for larger residential properties and small commercial sites
- 5,000 litres – commonly used in agricultural and light industrial settings
- 10,000 litres – heavy-duty option for commercial, industrial, or farm use
Available in plastic (polyethylene) and steel.
Used Plastic vs Steel Oil Tanks
Both materials have their advantages depending on your application. Plastic (polyethylene) tanks are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and well-suited to residential and light commercial use — most commonly available in capacities up to 2,500 litres.
Steel oil tanks offer greater structural strength and are the standard choice for larger-capacity storage from 5,000 litres upwards, industrial sites, and environments where a more robust, long-lasting solution is required. Our team can advise on which material and size is best suited to your specific needs.
Used Fuel Dispensers for Sale
Alongside our tank stock, we also supply used fuel dispensers — an essential piece of equipment for any site managing its own fuel supply. Whether you’re running a fleet operation, a farm, a construction site, or a commercial premises with on-site refuelling needs, a fuel dispenser allows for accurate, controlled fuel delivery directly from your storage tank.
Common used fuel dispensers available include:
- 2,500 litre systems – suitable for small fleet or agricultural use
- 5,000 litre systems – a versatile mid-range option for farm and site use
- 10,000 litre systems – ideal for larger fleets, depots, and high-volume commercial operations
Our used dispensers are inspected prior to sale to ensure reliable operation, offering a cost-effective alternative to buying new. Available stock and specifications vary, so get in touch to discuss your requirements.
Used Generators for Sale
We also supply used diesel generators, ideal for backup power, off-grid use, or temporary site power. Whether you need a reliable standby unit for a residential property or a higher-output generator for commercial or industrial use, our available stock covers a range of outputs and configurations — from smaller units in the 10–20 kVA range through to 100 kVA and above for commercial and industrial applications.
Inspected and Ready for Use
All used tanks and equipment we offer are individually inspected before sale to assess structural integrity, operational condition, and safety compliance. We don’t simply resell — we evaluate. That means you get a dependable piece of equipment at a significantly lower price than new, without the uncertainty of buying blind.
