OFTEC-certified fuel tank inspections
OFTEC (Oil Firing Technical Association) fuel tank regulations apply to any business or individual storing large quantities of fuel. For businesses, this means any storage container with a capacity of 201 litres or more needs to comply.
These regulations exist to minimise the risk of oil spills, which can cause significant harm to the environment. Failing to adhere to fuel tank regulations can result in considerable fines or worse!
Regulations vary from region to region and are dependent on the type of fuel tanks and what they are used for.

Are you meeting OFTEC standards?
Among the raft of mandatory requirements, OFTEC regulations now stipulate that all domestic heating oil tanks must be bunded.
If your heating oil tank is out of OFTEC specification this can result in your insurance being voided – OFTEC standards being the universally recognised benchmark for heating oil systems.
Inspection
Ensure your tank is regularly inspected for any signs of damage, corrosion, or leaks.
Maintenance
Schedule routine maintenance to address any issues promptly, preventing potential leaks and spills.
Compliance
Heating oil tanks which are not OFTEC compliant put you at risk of a fine and your insurance being void.
OFTEC certificate
Maintain accurate records of inspections, maintenance, and any upgrades or replacements to demonstrate compliance.
Your fuel tank health check
Our OFTEC-qualified engineers regularly install new heating oil tanks for a wide range of commercial and domestic customers across the UK. This means we are best placed to deliver a comprehensive fuel tank health check.
A thorough inspection will highlight any potential risks and will compare your current installation to that of the most recent OFTEC guidelines. Ultimately, the objective is to mitigate the risk of any major loss, or a spill of fuel oil on your property.
Visual examination:
An OFTEC fuel tank inspection involves a visual assessment of the tank’s exterior for signs of corrosion, rust, or physical damage.
Leak detection
Our engineers will check for any leaks or seepage, ensuring that the tank is not compromising the environment or posing safety risks.
Compliance verification
FTEC fuel tank inspections also include a review of compliance with industry regulations, confirming that the tank meets safety and environmental standards.
