Having a heating oil tank too close to your house in is a bad idea because it poses a fire risk. If the tank were to leak or rupture, it could result in a dangerous spill that's hard to contain. Additionally, proximity to the home can expose it to potential damage from house maintenance or renovation activities. Furthermore, having it too close can affect your home's insurance premium or even the ability to get coverage.
