How commercial heating oil should be stored and handled
No matter what you are using commercial heating oil for, you should be aware of how to properly store and handle the fuel so that you and everyone else involved in your business stays as safe and possible. Here are some helpful tips on proper commercial heating oil storage and handling:
- Regularly check your storage tank for damage, rust and leaks.
- Don’t skip out on booking regular oil tank maintenance appointments with a professional service.
- Keep your heating oil in a high-quality tank that is durable and made out of strong materials. Not only will this help keep everyone safe, but it will also help ensure that your fuel is working properly.
- Keep your commercial heating oil storage tank away from open flames and potential sources of ignition and on a stable and level surface at all times. Clean this surface on a regular basis (letting dust and dirt accumulate on this surface is a safety hazard).
