Annual Oil Tank Check-Up
Our annual oil tank maintenance service helps extend your tank’s lifespan and identify potential issues early. During our inspections, our OFTEC-registered engineers provide expert recommendations and advice to keep your oil system running efficiently.
Oil Tank Gauge, Valves & Outlet Renewal
Exposure to the elements can cause gauges, valves and outlets to rust, seize, or leak, leading to oil supply shutdowns or dangerous leaks. Our specialists assess and replace work-out components, ensuring your oil tank functions safely and efficiently.
Water and Sludge Removal
Two major issues affecting oil tanks are water contamination and sludge build up. These can cause blockages, reduced efficiency, and potential damage to your oil pipeline boiler.
Water Contamination Causes:
- Condensation – Forms inside the tank during temperature changes, especially in summer.
- Rainwater infiltration – Occurs in older, single-skinned tanks with worn-out seals.
Sludge Formation:
Over time, dirt, rust, oxidation, and bacteria settle at the bottom of the tank, forming sludge that clogs the system. Our team can remove sludge and water build up to protect your fuel supply.
We recommend upgrading to a bunded oil tank, which offers extra protection against water infiltration and leaks. If your tank is over 20 years old, it may be time for a replacement to avoid cracks, holes, and poor seals.
