ADR Compliant - Bunded High Speed Fuel Bowsers
Cashels manufacture a comprehensive range of Fuel Bowsers for the transportation and storage of fuels. The bunded ADR compliant range consists of High Speed and Static Transportable, with storage capacity from 220 gallon to 400 gallons, in bunded containers (secondary containment).

The container unit bund and chassis combination is manufactured to comply with the Carriage of Dangerous Goods Regulation, the ADR requirements and The Control of Pollution Regulations 2001 (oil storage), England.

Since July 1st 2003 European regulation came into force, which govern the design, testing and manufacture of containers for dangerous goods.  The carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Regulations now classifies diesel, as a dangerous substance.

If Dangerous goods are being transported by road then they must now be conveyed in a container which complies with the ADR.  ADR is the European Agreement on the international and national Carriage of Dangerous goods by Road under directive 95/55/EC.  The manufacturer must supply with each bowser, a) a copy of the IBC approval certificate, b) a test certificate for the leakproofness test, c) an identification plate attached to the container.  They are suitable for diesel and kerosene (special unit for aviation fuel) and are designed to help companies comply with current and pending EU Environmental Regulation by eliminating accidental spillage.  Outer container bund has in excess of 110% capacity of the inner container.

For loads in excess of 1000lt or 220 gallon by road the vehicle driver must have undergone training and hold a special licence.
