McCabe Tanks - Petrol/Oil Bypass, Full Retention & Forecourt Interceptors

What is an oil interceptor

Surface water drains normally discharge to a watercourse or indirectly into underground waters via a soak away. Contamination of surface water by oil, chemicals or suspended solids can cause these discharges to have a serious impact on the receiving water. Interceptors are installed to protect receiving waters from oil pollution.

All McCabe Fuel / Oil Interceptors conform to all local water authorities regulations. The tank design contains and slows the flow of waste to allow the grease, oil, and traces of fuel and solvents to float and separate from the cleaner water which exits the tank from a low level thereby complying with local water authority requirements.
