Can you fix a leaking oil tank?

In the vast majority of cases, once an oil or fuel tank is damaged to the point of leaking, it cannot be fixed. Temporary measures such as sealing cracks with strengthened tapes may help resolve the issue on a temporary basis, but a leaking tank will most likely need to be replaced entirely in the long run to prevent environmental damage and fuel loss.

For this reason, it is important to inspect your oil storage tank on a regular basis, noting and reporting any significant signs of damage or leakage to an OFTEC registered technician, who will be able to review the issue from a professional standpoint and offer further advice and assistance. Smaller spills or leaks may often be contained using a spill kit or tray, available for purchase through RPM Fuels.
