Heating Oil Tank

Before Winter Bites and Cold Long Nights, Check That Your Tank is Alright

We've have enjoyed record breaking high temperatures and sunshine this summer. Home heating oil has been a distant memory. However, courtesy of the freezing cold winter and spring and the long hot summer, you heating oil tank will have contracted (in the cold) and expanded (in the heat). This process may have rendered your heating oil tank brittle. Please ask yourself....

Is My Oil Tank Weeping or Leaking?

  • Check the seams for any parting
  • Ensure the tank is on a solid flat base
  • If the tank is 10+ years, it is time to consider an upgrade
  • Check that the fittings at the front of the tank are not corroded
  • Do you get an odor when you walk by the tank?

If your heating oil tank bursts, cracks or leaks it will cause damage to human health, buildings and/or the environment. To read more, click this blog.

Benefits of the R900

We recommend the Kingspan R900 single skin oil tank which is specifically designed for home use. We like this tank because:

  • It fits on a standard footpath / side passage
  • It can fit through the front door of the house if needs be
  • It holds 900 litres and is well priced
