Signs That You Need a New Oil Tank
You know how important it is to properly care for your oil tank. By keeping the tank at least half-full, shielding it against the elements with insulated covers, and incorporating heating oil additives to prevent sludge formation, you can keep it running for many years to come. One of the most important rules of oil tank maintenance is to perform regular visual inspections and take note of how it normally works. This can help you notice potential problems early and take steps to address the issue.
If you’re not sure whether it’s time for a new oil tank installation, take a look at the following potential signs:
- Age: A well-maintained oil tank can last for over a decade, but nothing lasts forever. If your tank is 15–20+ years old or lacks a visible manufacturer's date, it’s a good idea to replace it before it begins to show signs of problems.
- Corrosion: Over time, your oil tank will develop signs of wear, particularly in Long Island’s variable coastal climate. Visible rust, pitting, blistering paint, or deep surface corrosion are all signs that it’s time for new oil tank installation. You might also notice corrosion on your supply/return lines, fittings, or valves. Be particularly vigilant if your oil tank is located in a damp area or on bare soil.
- Odd Smells: If you notice oil odors near the tank, lines, or in your basement/utility area, take quick action to mitigate the damage. You might also notice changes to your indoor air quality, especially after deliveries or refills.
- Spreading Discoloration: Stains on floors, walls, or soil, or dead vegetation near outdoor tanks, is a sign of a potential problem. Contact our team immediately to identify the issue and make a plan for how to address it.
- Water Damage: Damp spots, weeping seams, or active leaks under or around the tank are signs of an issue. Water contamination in the tank can result in bacterial growth, frozen lines, or milky fuel, which can cause potential hazards.
- Structural Problems: If your tank has bulging, dented, or warped walls, or if it’s unstable or settling unevenly, it’s time to schedule a professional inspection.
- Malfunctioning: Your tank might show frequent burner lockouts, air in lines, or recurring filter clogs from sludge, malfunctioning gauges, stuck floats, or inconsistent fuel readings. Your vent whistle might not sound during deliveries or vent/overflow issues; you also might notice drastic and unexplained changes in your fuel consumption.
- Compliance Issues: If your tank violates safety codes, fails inspections, or can no longer be covered under your insurance policy, it’s time to replace it.
