How should I maintain my oil tank during winter?

Before winter it is essential that you prepare your tank for the colder months:

  1. Visually inspect your tank for damage
  2. Service/replace your filters
  3. Ensure your tank is protected from water
  4. Secure your tank against oil theft
  5. Monitor oil levels and refill timely.

We have a helpful article on this for more information – Prepare Your Oil Tank For The Colder Months or watch our helpful video guide.

What is an oil tank de-aerator, and do I need one?

An oil tank de-aerator removes air from the heating oil line, ensuring that the oil burns efficiently and helps prevent issues with the boiler or burner. If you have problems with air in your oil supply line or your system isn’t running smoothly, a de-aerator may be helpful. We stock a range of deaerators.

What should I do if I have water in my heating oil tank?

We have a step by step video tutorial on what you should do in this instance. We also offer oil tank water removal products and kits to help you find and remove any water.

How do I prevent oil theft from my tank?

To prevent oil theft, consider the following:

  • Install a lockable tank cap.
  • Use motion-sensor lighting or CCTV around your tank.
  • Install an oil tank alarm that detects sudden drops in oil levels.
  • Position the tank in a secure, hidden area where it’s harder to access.

How do I check the oil level in my tank?

You can monitor the oil level in your tank using manual gauges or digital oil tank monitors. We have stock a range of contents gauges at FuelDump.

What is an overfill prevention valve, and do I need one?

An overfill prevention valve is a safety device designed to prevent the tank from being overfilled during oil delivery. It automatically shuts off the oil flow when the tank reaches a certain level. This is especially important for avoiding oil spills and environmental hazards.

Overfill prevention valves are highly recommended for most domestic and commercial tanks, especially if they are above ground or located near sensitive areas.
