Quite a useful size tank, looks in good nick and a reasonable price at the time of posting ...

So you're about 1000L short.

You'll need to be more accurate than that when making bio.

Rough mental rifmatic say 1300ltr

shame 300 size would be a nice size tank for veg storing

I have one the same size... mine was off freecycle, but, in the course of finding that one, i was looking on ebay.  Price seems to range from a fiver to about a ton.

Theyre between 12 and 1300 litres.

They get phased out, as the kerosene delivery people complain, but, so far as i can tell, they are within spec for all locations, unless "X" meters from a water course (ie the capacity is less than at which bunding is compulsory)

I believe tony has one for veg storage too.

I've got one of these for veg feedstock. Got it free from a local farmer! 1300 litres or so, but getting very low at the moment.

Yes, it's 5' high, 4' wide and 2' deep - approx 1100 litres.  Doesn't use up too much floorspace (less than an IBC).

I have to course filter the oil for storage, my only long term worry is that enough little bits will accumulate over the floor of the tank to block the drain points (low one for water, slightly higher one for oil takeoff).

Mine cost me £40 I think, worth every penny.
