1. Planning and Site Preparation for Oil Tank Installation
Before installation, our team assesses your property to determine the best tank placement based on safety, accessibility, and regulatory requirements.
Oil Tank Sizing and Material Selection: We help you choose the right tank type (fiberglass, steel, single-wall, or double-wall) based on your heating needs.
Permit Handling: We check local regulations and obtain necessary permits for installation and inspections.
Site Selection:
- Aboveground Tanks: Installed in a dry, level area such as a basement, garage, or outdoor space with proper clearance.
- Underground Tanks: Buried at a safe depth in a designated area, considering soil conditions and environmental factors.
Safety Considerations: Bollards or protective barriers may be installed around aboveground tanks in high-traffic areas to prevent accidental damage.
2. Oil Tank Installation and Setup
Once planning is complete and permits are approved, we will proceed with the rest of the installation process.
Base Preparation:
- Aboveground Tanks: For support, a stable foundation, such as a concrete slab or pre-cast pad, is installed.
- Underground Tanks: A proper excavation is prepared, ensuring a secure and corrosion-resistant installation.
Oil Tank Positioning and Securing:
- Aboveground Tanks: The tank is securely placed on a stable base and fastened if necessary.
- Underground Tanks: The tank is carefully lowered into the excavated area and properly anchored to prevent shifting.
Fuel Line Connections:
- Leak-proof fuel lines are installed and connected to the heating system.
- Underground installations require corrosion-resistant piping and additional protective coatings.
Ventilation and Safety Systems:
- Aboveground Tanks: A proper venting system is installed to allow safe fuel vapor release.
- Underground Tanks: A vent pipe is extended above ground to ensure safe airflow and pressure regulation.
- Bollards: If desired or required by permitting regulations, bollards are installed for perimeter security.
Shut-Off Valves and Leak Detection:
- Shut-off valves are installed for easy maintenance and emergency control.
- Underground tanks may include leak detection systems for added protection.
Insulation and Weather Protection: Exterior fuel lines for both aboveground and underground tanks are insulated to prevent freezing and weather damage.
Final Testing: Before filling the tank, we conduct a thorough inspection and pressure test to check for leaks and ensure compliance with safety regulations.
3. Post-Installation Oil Tank Safety and Maintenance
