When it comes to replacing your old oil tank there are various options that you will be presented with.
One of the first options to consider it what material the tank is made of. Historically, oil tanks were made from steel, which whilst offering a structurally solid oil tank the maintenance of steel tanks meant that the tank would require some upkeep throughout its lifetime.
The benefits of plastic oil tanks – There are loads of great reasons for choosing a plastic oil tank.
They are lightweight – This makes them more manoeuvrable, easier and less expensive to transport, install and move to a different location.
They are insulated – Plastic is an insulated material and slows the transfer of heat and cold from the environment – This means the liquid you are storing is partially protected.
No Rusting – Quite simply plastic does not rust like steel and won’t need painting. Rusting tanks can even twist, cave in and fall over. Trust us, you don’t want that cleaning up bill for this !
Structurally Sound – Plastic tanks are seamless so this limits the joint that can split. Even if it deforms it can regain shape. They won’t last forever but plastic tanks are a great. option in terms of quality and practicality.
Non-maintenance – Plastic tanks do not require maintenance like steel tanks do.
Available in many shapes and sizes – Plastic tanks are available in a wider range of shapes and sizes than steel tanks.
