I DON’T KNOW IF THERE IS OIL IN MY TANK.

Determining the amount of heating oil in your oil tank is crucial. Most above ground home heating oil tanks will have a gauge on top. On the off chance your tank does not have a gauge, we will have to check the fuel level manually. Call for more information.

WHAT DOES “ABOVE GROUND OIL TANK” MEAN?

The term “above ground oil tank”, opposed to underground, would be any heating oil tank that is above the earth’s surface. That old heating oil tank in your basement would be considered an above ground heating oil tank.

The most common locations for above ground heating oil tanks are:

• Basement
• Garage
• Outside of Home

However, they can also be under a porch, or within an enclosure. If you have any questions regarding your heating oil tank or its placement give us a call at your convenience.
