If you notice a split or any distortion in the shape of your oil tank, you should contact us immediately.

If you own a single skin oil tank, a tank split can cause tens of thousands of pounds worth of damage – something which your insurer may not cover you for. For this reason, any concerns which you have about your oil tank should be addressed without hesitation.

There are rarely any instances in which oil tank splits can or should be repaired. Damage to the integrity of your oil tank poses a significant environmental risk and for that reason, you should always carefully consider replacing your tank in such instances.
