Tanks should be located in an area that does not become an eyesore, but even so, some thought should be given to the needs of safety, filling and maintenance.

Reference must be made to OFTEC – OFTEC licensed tanks are the only tanks that should be installed.

Technical Information note T1/133 covering the risk assessment of environmental damage being caused by spillage from oil storage tanks, this assessment must be completed by an approved OFTEC technician to establish the type of tank necessary.

There should be a minimum distance of 600mm from the tank and any foliage intended as a screen so that no damage is caused to either the plant life or the tank, especially if it is an underground tank.
