When it comes to choosing the location of your oil tank, it can't be positioned too close to your home to prevent accidents. Your oil tank should be at least 1.8 metres from your home.

How long does an oil tank last?

• Type of oil tank - Depending on the type of oil tank you choose, the price you pay will vary.

• Replacement or new oil tank - It’s usually cheaper to replace an old oil tank than to set up an entirely new oil tank system.

• Location - Depending on where you live in the UK, oil tank installation costs will vary.
