Brilliant service. We had needed an emergency supply of fuel, Sean responded really quickly and delivered next morning but found the tank had a blocked filter and fixed it on the spot. Heating all back up and running. Lifesaver.

A superb service from start to finish! Called back within an hour of my call. Visited next day and gave me a quote and timescale. They kept to timescale and laid a new concrete base, supplied a new tank and took away the old tank. Sean explained everything and started the boiler for me. I will definitely use them again.

Really impressed with the service I received. Everything was clear, well explained, and competitively priced. The team were highly efficient and worked quickly to carry out the job to remove an old oil tank and relocate a new one a considerable distance from the house. All done with a friendly and positive approach. Would highly recommend

I experienced a leak in my oil tank and called S G Tanks who immediately visited site and offered me an acceptable quotation to replace the tank within days. They turned up on time and replaced the tank with speed and efficiency. I would highly recommend S G Tanks for their professionalism in a job well done.

We had a small leak on our old tank and Sean came to us a week later and installed a new tank and took the old one away. Left the job nice and tidy. I would thoroughly recommend S G Tanks 🙂

Oil Tank FAQs

On our FAQ page, find advice on choosing the optimal tank, regulations, gauges, preparation, maintenance and more. Our team is always on hand to answer any specific questions as well.

Should I choose a plastic or steel heating oil tank?

Deciding between a plastic or steel heating oil tank comes down to a couple of things. Firstly, plastic tanks are cheaper than steel and are commonly more resistant to extreme weather.
Secondly, steel tanks offer greater security and protection from thieves, thanks to their drill-resistant outer shell. Whether you should choose one or the other depends on your budget, needs and tank location.

How long do heating oil tanks last?

The best way to ensure heating oil tanks last as long as possible is through regular servicing and maintenance. Replacing or repairing a faulty oil tank is more expensive than investing in the proper maintenance of a heating oil tank.

The material the tank is made from is also an important factor, with our steel tanks coming with a five-year warranty versus plastic tanks that come with two years. However, maintaining and protecting your heating oil tank should make these last much longer.

What size are home heating oil tanks?

Here at SG Tanks, we provide a wide range of sizes in our home heating oil tanks, whether they are plastic, steel, bunded or single-skin.

Our oil tanks range in size from 650 litres to 10,000 litres, so whatever your needs are, we can meet them. We work with you to find the perfect installation location at your home to ensure that your heating oil tank fits perfectly with your lifestyle.

How close to a boundary can I place an oil storage tank?

Heating oil tanks are commonly placed in gardens or on the exterior of a home, but they come with some safety restrictions. They must be positioned at least 0.76 metres away from non-fire-resistant boundaries, like wooden fences and 0.6 metres from any non-boundary screenings like trees or plants.

Heating oil tanks must also be positioned no less than 1.8 metres from a building, eaves, doorway or window. Thanks to years of experience, our expert installation team will always ensure your oil tank complies with UK installation regulations.
