Forecourt separators

This page uses the term forecourt to refer to all forms of liquid-fuel dispensing outlets, both retail and non-retail, including those where only diesel is dispensed.

A forecourt separator must be a 'full retention' separator, large enough to serve the catchment area of the site and have a sufficient oil storage volume to retain any foreseeable spillages.

It is important to install a forecourt separator of an appropriate size. On a forecourt where tanker deliveries are received, a separator with an oil storage capacity of 7,600 litres will meet the requirements of BS EN 858-2, clause 4.3.6.

If a smaller unit is proposed, the size should be determined by undertaking a risk assessment incorporating catchment size, potential spillages during delivery, and other risks such as safety issues. If the compartment size of the tanker that delivers to your site is greater that 7,600 litres your separator should be sized accordingly.
