Above Ground Fuel Storage Tanks & Containerised Fuel Stations for Vehicle Refuelling

Bring your fuel storage and dispensing system into the 21st century with OTS’ commercial vehicle refuelling solutions. OTS, a fully compliant and efficient approach to fuelling vehicles. 

 

Safe, Efficient, and Compliant Refuelling Solutions for Commercial and Homebase Fleets

OTS Group designs, installs, and maintains complete above-ground refuelling systems for vehicle fleets across the UK.

At the centre of our refuelling offering is the MultiServ™, OTS’s patented containerised fuel station: a fully compliant, high-capacity refuelling system engineered for fast throughput, multi-product delivery, and secure operation. MultiServ™ allows fleets to refuel safely and efficiently on their own site or as part of a high-volume commercial truckstop.

Each installation combines OFS T200-certified bunded tanks with industry leading dispensing systems and can integrate advanced fuel management technology such as EasyFuel+ and Jigsaw to give operators complete visibility and control over every litre dispensed.

Commercial Refuelling Projects

Refuelling for Homebase Fleet Depots

OTS offers several homebase refuelling configurations depending on site layout, fleet size, and operational needs. This includes fully containerised MultiServ™ systems, above-ground tanks with integrated dispensing cabinets, or standalone island dispensers for busier forecourt-style layouts. Each option is built to the same compliance and engineering standards.

Our modular setups scale easily, whether supporting a single depot or a national network, and can integrate with any existing fuel management system or operate as standalone dispensing infrastructure.

For operators needing forecourt-grade hardware, OTS installs Gilbarco Veeder-Root dispensing cabinets across both containerised and fixed refuelling systems.

Fuel management technology is highly recommended for homebase depots, although it is not mandatory. Where included, systems such as AVI (Automatic Vehicle Identification) or keypad-based access give operators tighter control, accurate tracking, and improved accountability across their fleet.

Benefits for fleet operators:

  • Reduce fuel costs with controlled on-site refuelling

  • Improve efficiency with accurate, real-time usage data

  • Strengthen accountability with secure driver or vehicle authentication

  • Remove manual processes that slow down operations

  • Minimise misuse through controlled access to pumps

Above Ground Storage Tanks (ASTs): The Superior Choice

At OTS, we prioritise efficient and responsible fuel storage. That's why we advocate for Above Ground Storage Tanks (ASTs). Endorsed by the Environment Agency, ASTs offer significant advantages over Underground Storage Tanks (USTs). 

ASTs can be relocated, extending their lifespan and preserving their capital value. Even at their "end of life", they retain value for repurposing or as scrap material. Typically, below ground tanks are decommissioned in situ by injecting foam. Leaving a tank in situ may affect the land value and impact on potential redevelopment. The later removal of foam-filled USTs is an expensive exercise as the foam needs to be removed and disposed of in landfill. Impact on the environment is costly.

Choosing ASTs means investing in a durable, flexible solution that safeguards land value and the environment. At OTS, we're committed to providing top-quality ASTs to meet your storage needs in line with industry best practices.

Vehicle Refuelling FAQs

Can OTS supply both tanks and dispensing equipment?

Yes. We design refuelling systems as complete packages, including bunded storage tanks, pumps, dispensers, pipework (including Mapress), filtration, and integrated fuel management technology. All dispensing equipment is supplied, tested, and commissioned by OTS engineers.

What fuel types can the systems store and dispense?

Our systems accommodate a wide range of fuels and additives including DERV, HVO, Gas Oil, and AdBlue. We can also advise on fuel compatibility, HVO conversion, and the best setup for multi-product dispensing.

Do OTS refuelling systems require groundworks?

Most sites require some civil work such as concrete pads, power connections, containment areas, or drainage integration. If needed, OTS manages all groundworks as part of our turnkey installation service to keep your project compliant and on schedule.

Can you install refuelling systems nationwide?

Yes. Our installation and service teams operate across the UK and Europe, supporting both public refuelling networks and private fleet depots.

Do you provide fuel management integration for existing tanks?

Yes. OTS can retrofit EasyFuel+ or Jigsaw AVI technology to most existing tanks and dispensers, enabling automatic vehicle identification, secure access control, and real-time reporting without replacing your current infrastructure.

How long does a typical installation take?

Project timelines vary by site size and specification, but most above-ground systems are delivered, installed, and commissioned within a few months. Faster turnaround options are available through our 8-week express manufacturing programme and our nationwide hire fleet.
