This year, the 'Tank Safe' campaign was launched by OFTEC, urging households that use oil for heating their home to check their oil tanks. This follows research that one in three tanks have passed their maximum life expectancy and are susceptible to leaks. It is recommended that oil tanks are checked once a year to make sure they are assessed for any ricks and here at Forecourt Installation Services, we're committed to providing the highest standard of OFTEC Tank Inspections for domestic and non-domestic applications across the UK. Although oil is intrinsically a safe fuel, there are both environmental and fire related risks associated with the use of oil tanks. Our highly capable and experienced staff are able to provide the appropriate assessments, installation and maintenance of your tank to provide you with the peace of mind that you require when using an oil tank. All of our engineers have been trained to OFTEC 10-600A standards, and therefore know how to approach each installation with precision and expertise. We know that each project is different and we keep this in mind when assessing the possible effect of oil spillage and the consequent risk of fire spreading. Oil tank fires are incredibly dangerous, regardless of the capacity of your tank. If stored correctly, oil is a very safe and efficient form of fuel to use when heating a property, however the risks that unprotected or damaged tanks pose are extremely high. The recent campaign to increase awareness of having oil tanks regularly serviced follows news stories about oil tank fires like that which occurred in Dunmurry on the outskirts of Belfast in June, tearing through several houses and leaving three families homeless. The extensive effect of this, and other highly-publicised oil tank fires has led to the nationwide campaign to educate people on the importance of proper Fuel Storage Tank. To minimise the risks, you should ensure that an OFTEC registered engineer checks tanks and fittings at least once a year for any leaks, defects or damage. To find out more about how Forecourt Installation Services can assess your own oil tank, contact a member of the team today.
