SIGNS YOUR OIL TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED

Exterior Damage — If you notice visible damage on the exterior of your oil tank including rust, dents, corrosion, chips, cracks or peeling paint, it could signify a significant issue inside your heating system.

Oil Leaks — A buildup of sludge in your oil tank can eventually cause the interior of your tank to rust and spring a leak. If you notice stray oil present anywhere near the tank, around the gauge or on the ground underneath your oil tank, it is probably leaking.

Tank Age — The average life span of an oil tank is 10-20 years. With proper care, it could last longer but once your tank has hit the 15-year mark it should be inspected to ensure it is running efficiently and is not leaking.

Unstable legs — Often times, problems with oil tanks are the result of faulty installation. A tell-tale sign of this issue is when the legs appear to be uneven. The oil tank will have trouble functioning at full capacity if the legs are unstable.

Condensation — A small amount of condensation on the exterior of your oil tank is normal after being refilled, but condensation should not appear while your furnace is in operation. Excessive staining, moisture buildup, and water damage to the surrounding area can point to an issue with your tank.

Blistering — Small bumps developing on the side of your oil tank mean rust. These bumps are caused by rust that has begun to eat away at the interior of your storage tank, weakening certain sections of the tank and causing them to bulge out due to the pressure.
