The Importance of Regular Inspections for Your Heating Oil Tank
Today's heating oil tanks are built with incredible corrosion resistance and can last for decades, but that doesn’t mean issues still can’t arise. While less than 1% of heating oil tanks ever experience a release, taking proactive steps can help protect you from the headaches of a cleanup and tank replacement after a tank spill.
Regular maintenance is key to ensuring your tank stays in top condition. We recommend checking your tank regularly for signs of such as:
- Blisters
- Dents
- Rust
- Leaks around the fittings
If you notice any of these signs when inspecting your heating oil tank, contact Parker Oil & Propane right away so we can provide further examination.
