Tips For Maintaining Your Fuel Oil Tank
- Inspect above ground tanks for weak or unsteady support legs and soil erosion to prevent collapse. If your tank is showing signs of collapse, you will need to provide a new secure foundation. You might install floor flanges with concrete anchors or place the tank on a concrete pad instead of on the ground.
- Check for corrosion (rust), holes, leaking pipes and loose joints. Tanks should be placed in a secure area away from objects that can damage them.
- Make sure that the fill cap and the vent are in place and tightly secured.
- Keep the fill pipe accessible and visible for fuel delivery service.
- Place oil lines between the tank and the furnace under concrete or in protective tubing. Check fuel lines for crimps and replace any damaged fuel lines.
- Keep all pipe connections clean and tight. Check for drips from fittings and the filter.
- Clear snow, ice, insect nests or other debris from the tank vent to allow the tank to properly breathe.
- Make sure that there is no danger of ice or snow falling on the tank, tank stand and fill pipes.
- Do not put anything on top of your basement tank. It is not a storage shelf and items like your gauge may be damaged.
