If you're getting a new heating oil storage tank installed or replacing an old one, calling a professional service is essential. They will be very familiar with the National Fire Protection Association's installment guide and local regulations concerning oil tanks.
Removing oil tanks in older urban neighborhoods can be a challenge. In many instances, the tanks are tucked into the narrow strip of land between the sidewalk and building foundation with only inches of clearance on either side.
As a homeowner, you probably conduct routine visual inspections of your heating oil tank. Most manufacturers recommend an annual tank inspection and system tune-up to spot hidden issues early, so they can be resolved before the system fails or you experience a leak.
Advanced audio technologies can sometimes reveal an underground oil tank or pipe that might be actively leaking. Sensors scan to detect leak noises conveyed by the tank or pipe walls, but the technology works best on large piping systems.
If you’re storing more oil and keeping it longer than you have in the past, routine oil tank services can help preserve your investment. Basic services include removing water, condensation and sludge from the tank.
