Are you in need of a new oil tank?
Here are 5 reasons why you should
You may need to consider investing in a replacement steel or plastic oil tank if you observe any of the following warning signs. Get in touch with us if you need an oil tank installer Swansea
-
Corrosion and rust visible on tanks
Seeing rust and corrosion on the exterior of your metal oil tank is an obvious red flag. Surface wear is normal with age, but extensive flaking, pitting, and rust suggest advanced degradation. You run the risk of cracks, pinhole leaks, and even internal tank failure as corrosion perforates the metal.
During routine maintenance checks, our team checks for advanced corrosion and can advise if a new oil tank is the safest option. We will do our best to repair your tank if it can be repaired.

There are dents, gouges, or other damage to the vehicle
Damage to a metal or plastic tank’s external surface, such as major dents, gouges, and scrapes, compromises its structural stability over time. In addition to vehicles and fallen debris, heavy impacts can warp the tank’s shell
It is a good idea to investigate further or consider replacing any notable dents or defects. We are experts in oil tank installation Swansea so do not hesitate to contact us
-
Contamination or leak of oil
It is important not to ignore signs of oil leaks, such as visible oil sheens on surfaces near your tank. There is always a problem escalating even with slow seeps
Unaddressed leaks pose a serious environmental risk, as well as foundations and the surrounding area. In some cases, arranging a replacement is more efficient than attempting to repair the tank.
We follow all environmental regulations for safe removal and disposal of oil tanks, and we will advise you on the safest and most cost-effective option for you.

Advancing in age? You May Need an Oil Tank Installer Swansea
Although they can last several decades if very well maintained, most modern oil tanks only last about 20-25 years. On Oftec.org, you can find the regulations
Increasingly, older tanks are prone to corrosion. Tanks older than 25 years should be carefully inspected since replacement is often more economical than repairs.

Oil tank install
Due to the single layer of protection, single-skinned oil tanks are more likely to need replacing sooner than double-skinned tanks. An interstitial leak monitoring system will be installed with new tank installations to enhance safety.
Even though older single-skinned tanks are still legal, upgrading to a newer model or replacing an older single-skinned one with a stronger double-skinned one is highly recommended. So give us a ring if your looking for an oil tank installer Swansea
