Harlequin has unveiled its new BioFuel Station range at Europe's biggest biodiesel exhibition.

The leading storage tank manufacturer's latest models were seen at Nottinghamshire's BioDiesel Expo.

Engineered specifically for the safe and environmentally responsible storage and dispensing of biodiesel, the development of the BioFuel Station range was undertaken in partnership with Italian fuel equipment specialist Piusi.

Speaking on the Harlequin stand at BioDiesel Expo, the firm's sales and marketing manager John Switzer explained that biodiesel is a specialist fuel requiring specialist containment.

"In developing the BioFuel Station range, our research and development team has worked closely with leading international polymer suppliers," he commented.

"The result is a product which is manufactured from an advanced, fully recyclable, biodiesel-resistant polymer which is inherently fit for purpose, and which is compliant with all applicable British and European fuel storage requirements," he continued.

Harlequin's BioFuel Station range is available in a choice of capacities from 1,400 litres to 10,100 litres with each tank fully "bunded", consisting of a tank within a tank.

Fuel is stored inside the inner tank, with the outer tank acting as secondary containment area in the event of a spillage.
