Good morning gents,
I’m currently looking for aluminium oil tanks that can be ADR’d to go on the back of a rigid truck. They need to be between 12,000 and 13,000L. I’m currently having no luck, if anyone knows where I could pick some up from it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
That’s a bit specialised for TN, I’d be surprised if you can get an answer.
It might be worth a shot asking on British Association of Dangerous Goods Professionals Forum on Linked In

Dont all ADR tanks need Type Approval, Certification, periodic checks? Not the sort of thing youd “pick-up” anywhere.
2nd hand ISO containers might be had, but smaller ones?

Indeed, correct on all accounts; to paraphrase Sheryl Crow “This ain’t no disco, it ain’t no country club either, This is A-D-R” 
Both tank and vehicle need to be constructed to ADR specifications.
the tank needs to have a certificate of conformity. This will do you for the first 12 months, after this the tank must be tested by the competent authority and obtain an ADR1(C) certificate, the tank manufacture plate then gets marked with periodic test date
Every tank undergoes regular testing and inspection
Fixed tanks: periodic (full) test every six years, intermediate (less detailed) test every three years,
Removable tanks are respectively 5 (periodic) and 2.5 years (intermediate)
As well as this the vehicle, or vehicle plus trailer, needs to be tested (ADR IIIS) to get a Vehicle Approval Certificate (VAC), I refer to these as an ADR MOT because you need one every 12 months, and it makes sense to get both MOT and VAC done at the same time because its the same people (DVSA) who do these inspections/tests. If it’s a rigid you only need one, for an artic plus trailer you need one VAC for each.
As if all that isn’t enough, the driver obviously needs to be ADR trained and other staff need basic awareness training, the operator needs to secure the services of a DGSA, and then there’s all the rest of the stuff that goes with ADR: extra fire extinguishers, placards, orange plates, UN Numbers, Emergency Action Codes, PPE kit bag etc etc.
I don’t know why the OP has specified aluminium tanks, if he’s looking for a removable tank then I can’t see that the weight saving of aluminum is worth much when you need the ISO frame for the tank to sit in,which will obviously be steel not ally.
Addendum, from a post by Diesel Dave from 2012
Old oil doesn’t count as dangerous goods, so that can be carried in any quantity as far as ADR is concerned.

I haven`t done ADR for a long while…
2012? Maybe it is the same, maybe there has been a rule change? The OP has asked for ADR tanks, so…
Ed to add.
The OP hasn`t said what “waste oil” he wants the tanks for.
Waste food oil? Lube or hydraulic oils? Waste fuel oil??
From what I do recall everything starts from being accurate about exactly what the material is.
Waste oil isn’t hazardous waste, so no adr needed.
Waste food (cooking) oil may not be hazardous. I think waste lubricating or hydraulic oil is.
ADR 2021 doesn’t have anything listed under Oil, either with or without waste being added to the description.
However it was the OP who brought up ADR so maybe there is more to it than he shared with us. From a little reading around “oil” is a very loose term used in a variety of ways and some may or may not require ADR, eg heating oil is most definitely ADR, engine or lubricating oil is not.
If the consignor of the oil has identified it as dangerous goods then the carrier can’t really dispute it.

Nope. Been transporting it over 20 years.
Best bet is visiting local ADR tanker firms and see if they have any old trucks that they have sitting about or they plan on decomissioning.
They don’t have a high resale value so they often get exported to Africa or some other place.
If your talking about buying brand new tanks fitted to your truck then just phone your local dealer of whatever trucks you own be it DAF/Volvo etc. they will have plenty of contacts for specialized bodies for their trucks. Be it flatbeds, curtain siders or tankers.
I had the impression OP was wanting to do things “on a budget”, otherwise why come looking on TN to buy vehicle ancillaries? He’s have more luck looking in Commercial Motor or similar.
Law exports in Stoke do all the old stuff for export to Africa, give them a bell see if they have anything.

One very spurious post in 10 days, it hardly explains what the op is looking for, is it a short rigid fuel tank for heating oil, red diesel or derv?

Waste oil I would assume given the title of the post.

Once something has been brought or sold for Export it generally goes as VAT isn’t normally paid to seller
