If you have an underground oil tank on your property, it’s time to replace it with an above ground oil tank! Not only is there a risk of oil getting into the soil around your home, but there is also risk of the tank itself breaking.

Here are 8 reasons why you should remove your underground oil tank:

1. An above ground oil tank is safer than an underground oil tank.

If there is a leak in an underground oil tank, the oil can easily contaminate the soil and groundwater. An above ground oil tank is less likely to leak, and if it does, the oil will be contained within the tank.

2. An above ground oil tank is easier to maintain than an underground oil tank.

An above ground oil tank is easier to access and inspect, which means it can be easily maintained. An underground oil tank is difficult to access and often requires excavation, making maintenance a challenge.

3. An above ground oil tank will last longer than an underground oil tank.

An above ground oil tank is made of steel, which makes it more durable than an underground oil tank, which is often made of plastic. An above ground oil tank will last longer and require less maintenance.

4. An above ground oil tank is less likely to leak than an underground oil tank.

An above ground oil tank is less likely to leak because it is made of steel and has a tight seal. An underground oil tank is more likely to leak because it is often made of plastic and does not have a tight seal.

5. An above ground oil tank takes up less space than an underground oil Tank.

An above ground oil tank takes up less space than an underground oil tank. This is because the tank can be placed above ground, while an underground oil tank must be buried in the ground.

With an above ground oil tank, you can see the level of fuel in the tank at all times. This makes it easy to monitor your fuel levels and ensure that you have enough fuel on hand.

You cannot monitor the level of fuel in an underground oil tank as easily. If there is a leak, you may not know until it is too late.

7. It’s easier and faster to fill an Above Ground Oil Tank than an Underground Oil tank.
