The Oil Tank Doc team attended Greyabbey today to carry out 2x oil tank inspections! We had two customers contact us on the same day to inspect their oil tanks. Both oil tanks required a brand new replacement oil tank and we booked them in for our oil tank replacement service.

The Oil Tank Doc team were busy responding to an emergency oil tank leak today in Carrickfergus. The customer had an old single skin oil tank with substantial UV damage, poor base support, and a smell of oil was apparent around the tank.
Our team was called to the Shore Road in Newtownabbey by a customer to respond to a leaking oil tank. The customer had a 1100 litre slimline oil tank that had developed a split (bottom right of the image). The only option in this situation is a brand new oil tank. There were a few fissures/cracks on the tank. We quickly transferred the oil into a temporary transfer tank and fitted a new oil tank.
Our team was called to Cloughey to respond to a leaking oil tank. The customer had an old 2500 litre oil tank that had severe UV damage and was approximately 20 years old. The tank was due for a replacement and was at high risk of developing a leak. There were a few fissures/cracks on the tank. We quickly transferred the oil into a temporary transfer tank and fitted a new oil tank.
Our team was called to Portavogie to respond to a leaking oil tank. The customer had noticed a smell of oil around the tank and this is what led to a crack being discovered on the front of the tank. We attended on the same day and discovered another 5-6 splits and fissures on the top of the oil tank as well. We quickly transferred the oil into a temporary transfer tank and fitted a new oil tank.
One of our emergency oil tank teams attended Antrim today to attend to a leaking oil tank. The homeowner noticed a drip coming from their old oil tank late one night which was in very poor condition. The oil tank was not on the correct base.
The process of oil tank removal and decommissioning is quite straightforward in most instances, providing you have the correct equipment and licenses.
