SECURITY SAFEGUARD YOUR FUEL WITH BUNDED FUEL TANKS FROM YORKSHIRE GENERATORS Research published by the insurer NFU Mutual revealed that rural crime amounted to £3.4 million last year. Further research into countryside crime has shown that 1 in three offences in rural areas goes unreported. Many of these crimes involved theft of fuel. Richard Ogden, Managing Director of Yorkshire Generators, has seen an increase in the take up of secure fuel tanks in recent years. His customers include many farmers and other businesses located in rural areas. “With ever-increasing fuel costs, it is no surprise that the theft of fuel by syphoning gas oil tanks remains a constant threat,” says Richard. “Bunded fuel tanks are the answer for the safe storage of petrol or diesel, kerosene or paraffin. They are lockable and vandal-proof,” he adds. Yorkshire Generators offers a wide range of sizes with the most popular being those with 900 litres, 1850 litres and 2500 litres capacity. They are available in any colour. The tanks meet all of the strict legislative requirements including the COSHH regulations and current code of practice as well as the requirements of the Environment Agency. As a result of their safe dispensing methods, these tanks are an effective means of avoiding ground contamination and the problems that can bring. AN AFFORDABLE SOLUTION Depending on their size, typical hire charges are between £25 and £35 per week – an affordable solution to fuel safety and security problems. Both new and reconditioned tanks are also available for sale. YORKSHIRE GENERATORS LTD Specialist Power Providers Are you confident that your essential and expensive fuel is both safe and secure?
