Heating With Oil – Maintaining Your Oil Tank
Many homes use oil for heat. Oil furnaces require a large supply of fuel to be stored somewhere near your house. These oil tanks can be an extreme fire or environmental hazard if they are not properly maintained and regularly checked for leaks. Even the smallest of leaks can significantly contaminate the surrounding groundwater and nearby private wells. Furthermore, leaking fuel oil can seep into a home's basement and pollute the indoor air quality.
