Question

I'm Concerned About Oil Theft – What Can I Do?

Accepted Answer

There are many ways in which you can protect your heating oil. For a start, you can ensure that your oil tank is installed and situated as much out of sight as possible. This means having it installed in a location within your garden which is not directly visible from the road or other areas surrounding your property.

In addition, you should always secure your oil tank with a specialist oil tank padlock or similar tank security device. Padlocks are a cheap and simple way to secure your tank. Installing a tank alarm will ensure that thieves are distracted by a loud and attention-grabbing alarm sound. A Spin secure tank lock can also be fitted to your oil tank, which means that the access point to your oil tank consists of a tap-type device, which is almost impossible to break or hack.
