At Eco Tank Services, we help homes and businesses across the UK protect one of the most important components of their heating systems—the oil tank. Over time, heating oil tanks can degrade from the inside, leading to corrosion, leaks, and environmental hazards.
That’s where heating oil tank lining comes in — a cost-effective and proactive solution that protects your tank, prevents contamination, and keeps your heating system running safely and efficiently.
What Is Heating Oil Tank Lining?
Heating oil tank lining involves applying a protective internal coating or liner to the inside of your oil tank. This coating acts as a barrier between the tank surface and any contaminants such as water, sludge, or microbes, which can cause rust and corrosion.
Whether you have an above ground tank, underground tank, or a commercial heating system, tank lining is a reliable way to prolong its service life and reduce the risk of leaks.
Benefits of Heating Oil Tank Lining
At Eco Tank Services, we recommend lining as a smart alternative to full tank replacement in many cases. Here’s why:
1. Prevents Internal Corrosion
Moisture and sludge can build up over time. A lining stops rust from forming, even in older steel tanks.
2. Extends Tank Lifespan
Tank lining can add years to your oil tank’s life, saving you the cost and hassle of an early replacement.
3. Reduces Leak Risk
A lined tank is far less likely to fail or leak, which helps protect the environment and your property.
4. Supports Regulatory Compliance
In the UK, oil storage regulations require regular maintenance and safe containment. Lining your tank helps meet these standards.
