This detailed product description introduces the 500-liter capacity, double-wall tank manufactured by Gartec, specifically designed for the safe and environmentally compliant storage of used (waste) oil. The product is made from high-quality High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), ensuring a long service life and chemical resistance.
The Gartec part number VS9107, 500-liter double-wall tank offers an ideal solution for workshops, service centers, and industrial facilities where the temporary or long-term storage of used motor oils, hydraulic oils, or other non-hazardous liquids is required. The double-wall design provides a fundamental safety feature: in case of a leak in the inner tank, the outer wall contains the spilled material, preventing soil and environmental contamination.
The tank is supplied as standard equipment with a level indicator and a drain filter, which facilitate handling and maintenance. The robust HDPE construction guarantees excellent resistance to the stored liquids.
This storage unit is primarily optimized for the handling of the following fluids:
Waste oil: The main area of use, ensuring compliance with strict environmental regulations.
New Oil (New oil): Although primarily designed for waste oil, it is also suitable for storing new oils.
Grease: Can also be used for storing more viscous materials.
AdBlue: Also suitable for storing urea solution.
Water: Can also be used for water storage.
Antifreeze: For the safe storage of antifreeze liquids.
Air: Not suitable for storing compressed air, but may be relevant as a system accessory.
Cleaners: For the storage of certain types of cleaning fluids.
Hydrocarbons: For the handling of hydrocarbon-based fluids.
Windshield washer fluid: For storing windshield washer fluid.
Gartec offers a wide range of accessories for fluid management, including pneumatic, electric, and manual pumps, hose reels, dispensing guns, and complete distribution sets that can be perfectly integrated with this storage system.
The precise technical data of the product ensures reliable operation and long-term performance.

In the design of the VS9107 model, the emphasis was on safety and user-friendly design:
Double Wall Protection: The most important safety feature. The outer casing is fully capable of containing the entire volume of the inner tank, so in case of damage or rupture, no hazardous substance will escape into the environment. This is critically important for compliance with strict environmental regulations (e.g., oil protection regulations).
HDPE Material Use: High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is highly resistant to most hydrocarbons and oils, does not corrode, and retains its mechanical properties in the long term.
Integrated Level Indicator: Allows for quick and accurate monitoring of the tank's fill level without having to open the tank, thereby minimizing the risk of evaporation and contamination.
Draining Filter: The filter placed at the draining opening prevents larger contaminants (e.g., metal shavings, debris) from escaping the system, which is especially important if a pump or distribution system is connected to the reservoir.
With accessories available in the Gartec range, this storage system can be expanded into a comprehensive fluid management station:
Pumps: Pneumatic, electric, or manual pumps can be selected for efficient and safe transfer of the used oil.
Dispensing: Dispensing guns and metering systems ensure the precise dosing of the oil quantity.
Furnishing: With solutions categorized as „Equipped furniture,” the tank can be integrated into an organized, professional workspace.
This 500-liter double-walled tank reflects Gartec's commitment to reliable, safe, and environmentally friendly fluid management technologies. It is an ideal choice for any industrial or service environment where the storage of waste oil is a key safety and legal consideration.
