What is a bunded bowser?

Here at Ace Plant, we are home to the ‘Bundie Bowser’. But what is a bunded bowser? And how might it help you on-site? There are many advantages of using a bunded bowser within industrial, agricultural and commercial settings. As specialists in plant hire and sales, we are here to help explain how why hiring or purchasing from our large range of bunded bowser equipment may be a worthwhile choice for your site.

Effective fuel storage

It is a legal requirement that all vessels used for storing fuel have an outer tank called a 'bund' in order to contain any fuel should the inner tank leak. In order for the tank to be considered a 'bunded bowser' the size of the bund must be 110% of the size of the inner tank to ensure that it is impossible for it to overflow in the event of an inner tank leak.

AdBlue Storage

Mainly fuel bowsers are used for storing diesel only, but they are being used increasingly more for the storage of AdBlue. When it comes to the safe storage of this type of solution, AdBlue bowsers are extremely effective and much more protective than a single skin IBC. Alongside storing the liquid in the correct environment, our AdBlue bowsers are lockable, 110% bunded and manufactured from either plastic or stainless steel to prevent contamination. As an additional practical option, we also have a range of Bundie Bowsers that store both diesel and AdBlue within the same unit.

Variety of sizes

Bunded bowsers are available in a variety of tank sizes, with various weights and pump types available according to your needs. From our 700L site tow bowser (our smallest and most compact AdBlue option) to our largest 11250L Site Tow bowser and 18000L Static Bowser, we have capacities to suit each customer’s unique requirements. If you require static storage, our Bundie Store selection may be suitable: these allow for safe and secure storage of 1000L IBCs, tools, parts, 25L drums and more.

Built to last

As experts in the industry, we understand that plant equipment must be designed with longevity, durability and safety at the forefront. With this in mind, our range of Bunded Fuel Storage equipment is manufactured to the highest standards in-house and is fully UN IBC approved.
