It’s important that old oil tanks are decommissioned professionally, with old oil being safely removed, and the old tank is recycled.
Where should your oil tank be installed?
Your oil tank should be conveniently placed in your garden for ease of access and to reduce any damage and to protect your tank.
What size oil tank do you need?
Choosing the right sized oil tank can seem like a daunting decision, but our experts are on hand to help.
When choosing an oil tank it’s important to choose the right size based on a few different factors. On average, home heating oil tank sizes range from 500 litres to 10,000 litres, but there is really no standard size as it all depends on your requirements, usage, and available space. How many times your tank needs to be refilled within a year will also affect your choice, as a larger tank with fewer deliveries may be more beneficial. Have a look at your available space and if you can safely install a larger oil tank, it could save you time and money in the long run.
Consider the following:
Did you know?
All oil tanks should all be fitted with an oil gauge to measure how much oil is inside your tank. A full tank should be around 85% full, as filling to 100% can cause an overflow. Taking this into account, you can work out how much oil you need based on previous consumption.
