Around the second half of January, after the Christmas rush, it's time to top up your heating oil tanks. But with the brisk weather, old tanks can start to show their age with cracks and leaks. It's usually during the refill that these problems come to light.
In our experience, an attentive oil delivery man noticed the condition of our tank and suggested a replacement to avoid future headaches.
Here's the gist: - Swapped in a new tank - Same day filling by delivery man - Old tank and any bad oil sludge dealt with properly - Heater back on - Oil tank problem solved for a good few years
