OFTEC Health and Safety Regulations

Domestic Oil Tank’s Positioning

The OFTEC (Oil Firing Technical Association) health and safety regulations specify the guidelines concerning the domestic oil tank installation and position, which should be at least a certain distance away from the following:

Base

According to the OFTEC regulations, continual structural support should be provided to the tank by its base throughout the year, in all seasons. For this purpose, the base should meet certain criteria, such as:

Our professional installers ensure that these requirements are fulfilled during storage tank installation at your premises, providing you with complete peace of mind.

Types of Heating Oil Tanks

We install different types of tanks to fulfil your property’s heating oil requirements, which include but are not limited to:

Bunded/Double Skinned Oil Tanks

This type of tank is UV stabilised, with a retaining tank around the double-skinned tank. This type of oil tank provides extra protection to oil from external elements, such as sunlight and theft. Moreover, it is more efficient in containing oil, thus preventing spills and leakages and saving you money.

Fire Rated/Fire Resistant Oil Tanks

These tanks have an integrated flame-retardant material, which acts as a barrier between fire and oil, providing additional safety to your property and family with reduced fire risks.

Single Skinned Oil Tanks

Our domestic oil tank installers provide an affordable option of a single-skinned oil tank in which oil is stored within one layer of plastic. It is easy to install and maintain as there is no risk of rusting, and painting or re-painting is also not required.

Steel Oil Tanks

We proficiently install traditional steel tanks, offering a robust oil storage option. These are cost-effective, durable, and weather-resistant, and they come with a customisation option. During welding, steel sheets can be moulded in any shape to create different tank sizes.

FAQs

How can I determine the suitable tank size for my property?

Typically, the heating oil tank sizes range from 500 litres to 10,000 litres, and you should consider these factors to install a suitable-sized tank on your property:

  • Property size
  • Heating requirements

What is the role of an oil gauge?

An oil gauge is specifically designed to measure the quantity of oil inside the tank. Generally, a tank is considered full when it is 85% filled with oil, as 100% filling the tank can result in overflow and oil waste.

How much time is required for domestic oil tank installation?

Depending on the condition of the installation site and the removal of the old tank, installing a domestic oil tank usually takes almost four hours.

How much cost is associated with a new domestic heating oil tank installation?

The cost of installing a new heating oil tank ranges from £2,200 to £2,800.
