Oil Tanks

The oil heating industry has been developing a variety of tanks to ensure that oil storage is safely contained.

Steel Tanks—Steel tanks built to rigorous Underwriters Laboratory® specifications are the mainstay of the industry. They are the most commonly installed tanks and have proven themselves over decades of use. They can be installed above ground or underground.

Fiberglass Tanks—Fiberglass tanks are built to rigorous Underwriters Laboratory (UL®) specifications. They have become increasingly popular for underground installations. Additionally, a fiberglass tank has recently passed UL®’s fire test and can now be installed above ground.

Outside Tank Heater

Heat is applied to the oil through the heater tube and warms the oil closest to the heater.   As the oil absorbs heat it begins to rise in the tank.   As the warm oil rises, colder oil moves in to take its place and the cycle continues.  As long as heat is applied to the oil it will continue to rise and fall in the tank.  There is not a significant rise in overall temperature within the tank, it is the oil movement that helps prevent the oil from gelling. This feature allows you to use winter blend in place of Kerosene.
