You can’t store oil in a road tanker that doesn’t have secondary containment. This is to discourage people from storing oil in tankers. Please note that the DEFRA Guidance Note still refers to a specific road and rail tanker exemption which does cause confusion. Road tankers are not designed to store oil for any length of time and their use for this purpose is discouraged. We may use our powers under the Anti-Pollution Works Notices Regulations 1999 to require suitable pollution prevention measures based on the risks on site and the costs/benefits to the environment and the owner.
