DP Fuel Tank Services can remove any size of heating oil tank from domestic premises, with the minimum of fuss or disruption.

Many people are now moving their domestic heating systems away from oil to more economical and environmentally friendly fuel sources. Once a tank becomes redundant in this way, removing it, by cleaning and recycling it, eliminates a safety hazard and allows the re-use of the tank room or the outside land on which the tank stood.

People are also moving away from oil fired central heating because of the increasing legal burdens.

According to The Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulation 2001, for domestic premises storing more than 3,500ltr, owners must “…provide a secondary containment facility, such as a bund or drip tray to prevent oil getting into the water environment.”

Building Regulations, administered by local authorities, require similar precautions for all replacement tanks, “when there is a significant risk of pollution.”
