Tank Renewal, Repairs and Maintenance is important and all too easily overlooked

Several members have asked if we know of a reliable firm to resolve issues relating to tank installations.  One such firm in the area is Tank Services based on the A30 at Sutton Mandeville

Ross Cowan and Chris Ford set up the business 12 years ago and the company undertakes tank related business throughout the area covered by SOBC.  To see the full range of Tank Services products, log on to their website www.tankservices.co.uk

The company tries to give a discount where possible to customers quoting SOBC.  So if your oil flow is low or you are worried about any aspect of your tank or oil lines, contact Tank Services on 01722 714514

Security is important if your tank can be accessed easily from a lane or other quiet vehicular access.  One member has had his tank contents stolen twice, so it is worth locking with a padlock which cannot easily be cut by bolt cutters.

As well as pumping out an easily accessed tank, it has been known for thieves to heat up a scaffolding pipe and insert it through the plastic side of the tank, draining the contents.  This leaves the hapless householder with a bill for a new tank.  If you can make access to the side of the tank difficult, it may deter those who like to get their oil even cheaper than SOBC can negotiate.
