The usual life span of an oil tank is 15-20 years old, although this will depend on the original quality of the tank and any corrosion caused by outdoor conditions. When checking your tank common things to look out for which show it may need replacing are:

• Splits or cracks in plastic tanks.
• Rusting of metal tanks.
• Bulging of your tank.
• ‘Leaning’ of the tank or base being otherwise unstable.
• Visible leaks or a strong smell of fuel.
