Does homeowners insurance cover oil tank leaks?

Whether or not your homeowners insurance covers an oil or fuel tank leak is entirely dependent on the exact specifications and stipulations of your package.  If you have evidence that or suspect your storage tank is leaking, it’s important to contact your insurance company as soon as possible to establish where you stand and prevent further damage or oil loss.

If your insurance does not provide cover for oil tank leaks or spills, the UK Spill Contractors Accreditation Scheme, or OFTEC may prove helpful in finding a trusted, local contractor to assist in the initial cleanup, and further advise on the situation.
