The positioning of your steel oil tank is crucial for safe and accessible usage. It should be located at least 1.8m away from any building entrances or non-fire rated eaves, and on a solid base, platform or stand (such as concrete or paving slabs) with a minimum of 300mm around its edge. The steel tank’s elevated position means that sinking or movement is reduced, and by extension, so is the risk of injury or spillages.
The duration of 500 litres of heating oil greatly depends on factors such as the size of your home, insulation levels, and your heating patterns, as well as the type and capacity of your oil tank. As a general guideline, a 500-litre tank could last an average 3-bedroom house between 6-8 weeks during the winter months when the heating is used regularly. Larger steel oil tanks (with capacities of 600 gallons or 2500 litres, for example) can handle more oil storage, meaning that you will need to refill an oil tank less frequently.
The ideal oil tank size depends on your home’s heating solutions and the number of residents. A typical three-bedroom house in the UK using heating oil would require a tank with a capacity of between 9000 and 1,500 litres. However, for larger homes or those with higher heating needs, 2500-litre oil tanks may be more suitable. Conversely, smaller properties could be OK using a 750-litre oil tank. Our experts can help determine the most cost-effective and ideally-sized oil tank based on your requirements.
Yes, regular oil tank servicing and maintenance are essential for ensuring its long-term performance, safety, stability and reliability. Steel bunded oil tanks are generally more resilient and secure than plastic oil tanks, but they should still be inspected annually for any signs of damage, leaks or corrosion. Additionally, a steel tank’s gauges, valves, and other components should be assessed and cleaned as needed by a qualified oil tank technician, such as those at SG Tanks.
While it is possible to install a steel oil tank yourself, we wouldn’t recommend it due to the complexities involved and the potential risks if not done correctly. A steel oil tank installation requires adherence to strict regulations and guidelines, as well as specialised knowledge and equipment.
