Many people confuse underground oil tanks with underground gasoline tanks. Gasoline tanks need to be replaced periodically because gasoline contains benzene, a corrosive element that can damage its tank. Heating oil does not contain benzene.

In the unlikely event of an underground leak, heating oil is non-toxic, bio-degradable, and non-carcinogenic. Even so, the location of other property features, such as wells and septic tanks need to be taken into consideration when installing an underground oil tank. Our tank installation experts will help you evaluate your property to determine its suitability for an underground oil tank.
