SL1400BT 1400 Litre Slimline Bunded Heating Oil Tank
The DESO SL1400BT 1400 Litre Slimline Bunded Oil Tank offers a practical and secure solution for storing heating oil where available space is limited.
Featuring a narrow slimline design, this tank is particularly well suited to properties where access or installation space may make a wider conventional tank unsuitable. Despite its compact 660mm width, the SL1400BT provides a generous 1400 litre storage capacity, making excellent use of the available space.
Manufactured in the UK from high-grade polyethylene, the tank combines a tough, corrosion-resistant construction with the additional protection of an integral bund. It is suitable for domestic and commercial fuel storage applications.

Slimline Design for Restricted Spaces
One of the main advantages of the DESO SL1400BT is its space-saving design.
Measuring just 660mm wide, the tank is considerably narrower than many conventional oil storage tanks, making it an ideal choice for properties with limited installation space.
The slim profile is particularly useful for installations alongside buildings or in other restricted areas where a wider tank may not be practical.
Fully Bunded for Additional Protection
The SL1400BT features a fully bunded tank-within-a-tank construction.
The inner tank contains the heating oil, while the surrounding outer tank provides secondary containment. In the event of a leak from the inner tank, the bund is designed to contain the escaped fuel and reduce the risk of environmental contamination.
This construction provides additional security for your stored heating oil and makes the tank suitable for a wide range of modern oil storage installations.
Secure Lockable Access
The SL1400BT features a lockable manhole cover, helping protect the tank fittings and stored fuel against unauthorised access.
This is particularly beneficial for tanks positioned outside or in locations that are easily accessible.

Delivery Terms
Estimated Delivery in 2-3 Working Days
The delivery of a tank can be confusing as each manufacturer offers a slightly different service and lead time. Please refer to our Delivery Information page. Standard tank deliveries are "kerbside", which means the tank will be delivered to the kerb only and not positioned further. Should you have specific delivery requirements or restrictions, please contact us to discuss.
Tanks over 2,500L — articulated lorry, customer offload
These tanks are delivered on an articulated vehicle (approximately 16.5m long × 2.6m wide × 3m high) which has no offloading on board. It is the customer's responsibility to offload the tank, which may require a telehandler or forklift.
Curtain-sided vehicles are also used, so please note that if there are obstacles or overhanging branches on the road to the delivery site, the driver may refuse to drive to the location due to the risk of damaging the vehicle. Please let us know about any obstructions before delivery so we can arrange alternative transport.
18-tonne tail-lift HGV
This vehicle is roughly the size of the largest bin lorries — approximately 8.2m long × 2.6m wide × 4m high, and often curtain-sided. If there are overhanging branches, these vehicles will not attempt the route, so a smaller vehicle should be requested.
Tanks are lowered to the ground but not positioned, as this is a kerbside delivery. If a smaller vehicle is required, email sales@fueltankshop.co.uk quoting your order number and name.
HIAB delivery
HIAB delivery is available but must be requested, and carries an additional cost. Email sales@fueltankshop.co.uk quoting your order number and name, and we'll come back to you with a price.
Accessories
Most accessories are delivered within 1–3 working days. Certain products and postcodes may take longer — check the product page for current information.

If an item is out of stock we'll advise the expected lead time, and you're free to cancel for a full refund.
