What should I do if my oil tank leaks?

It is important to manage any oil or fuel escaping the storage tank as soon and effectively as possible. Contact a registered specialist in oil and fuel management to assess the situation, and proceed according to their advice. Smaller spills or leaks may often be contained using a spill kit or tray, available for purchase through RPM Fuels.

In the event of a more significant spill, all remedial work should be undertaken by a qualified specialist – this may be covered by your insurance. If the spill has contaminated the surrounding soil, this may need to be removed or overturned. Any oil present in the surrounding water must be removed.
