Tank maintenance for a trouble-free summer

Tank maintenance for a trouble-free summer

As we gear up for the summer season, it’s essential to remember the importance of staying on top of your tank maintenance. To help you with this, we would like to share some valuable tips and reminders.

Firstly, it’s crucial to conduct a thorough inspection of your heating oil tank. While our expert drivers perform a comprehensive tank assessment with every delivery, we also encourage you to take the time to inspect your tank yourself. The summer season is the perfect opportunity for this important inspection.

Domestic heating oil tanks can deteriorate over time, making it vital to ensure that your tank is in good condition to prevent any unexpected leaks or spills. Not only can these issues be inconvenient, but they can also result in costly repairs.

To address any concerns you may have about your tank maintenance, our FAQ section contains a range of helpful advice, including answers to the commonly asked question, “Does my oil tank require maintaining?”

Book An Expert

For further assistance, our expert oil tank partner offers a FREE tank inspection if you’re unsure about your tank maintenance. Feel free to call our customer service team at 01756 640682 to schedule an appointment for this service.

Alternatively, book an OFTEC annual check. The Environment Agency and UKIFDA recommend that your oil tank should be inspected annually as part of your regular heating system service.  An OFTEC registered technician can advise you on when you should consider replacing your tank.

Using more heating oil than usual?

As the temperature rises and we enjoy the warmth of the summer sun, it’s easy to forget the chilly days and evenings we’ve experienced. If you’ve been cranking up your heating system to stay warm, you may have noticed that you’ve used more heating oil than usual for this time of year.

To ensure you’re prepared for the upcoming months, a quick check of your oil level can help you determine if it’s time to place an order. Ordering online is super easy and fast, and it can be done at your convenience.

We hope these tips serve as a helpful reminder to prioritise tank maintenance this summer. At Kettlewell Fuels, we’re committed to ensuring that your heating oil needs are met with prompt and reliable service. As always, please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or require assistance.
