Heating Oil Storage Tanks
Tank Safety: Not to Worry!
There are a lot of misconceptions out there about heating oil tanks. We'd like to set the record straight by highlighting their many benefits:
 Safety
- Today's oil tanks are designed with corrosion-resistant materials for long life and safety.
- Underground tanks are installed using new, innovative technologies.
- Oil actually protects the tank.
- According to a scientific study, less than 1% of all underground tanks nationwide ever experience a release.
- Heating oil moves slowly in most soils, so any discharge is confined to a small area.
- If there is an oil release, comprehensive and affordable tank protection is available.
Legal Issues
- In the U.S., all underground residential heating oil tanks regardless of size are exempt from all federal regulations.
Convenience
- A tank on one's property puts the homeowner in charge of supply.
- The homeowner pays only for Oilheat received.
- Automatic delivery assures that the homeowner never runs out of Oilheat.
- Independence and peace of mind are big tank benefits.
Versatility
- Tanks can be located in the basement, garage, underground or next to the home.
- New tanks are compact in size, to fit those nooks and crannies in the basement or garage.
- Attractive outdoor tank enclosures can be custom-built to match the design and color of the home, and they also provide an additional layer of protection.
