Common Issues With Heating Oil Tanks
When it comes to your heating oil tank, it is important to order high quality heating oil such as the fuel oil offered by Point Bay Fuel. You wouldn't put low grade oil into your new car, so why would you do this to your heating system? Yet, this aspect of many homeowner's heating system is often neglected. When a fuel oil tank is filled with oil low grade oil, many issues can arise. Being that the tank is a fundamental part of your heating system, the condition of your tank directly impacts the health of your furnace.
A fuel oil tank often develops sludge when low quality oil is put into it. Tank sludge is made up of the impurities that are found in heating oil. Water and solid particulates are some impurities found in heating oil. These particles settle at the bottom of your tank.
Water can also get into your tank through the process of condensation. When the temperature in your heating oil tank rises after a cold night, condensation forms from the air that is in a tank. Water is heavier than heating oil so, the water goes to the bottom of the tank. After a while, the water accumulates and forms a slime. Sludge and slime can clog your fuel lines and if it gets bad enough it can even make your furnace completely malfunction.
To avoid problems like these, a homeowner should:
- A homeowner should keep their tank full so there is little air inside of the tank. A good practice is to fill your oil tank after the heating season. Click here to order oil.
- Check the fill and vent caps often to ensure that they seal as necessary.
- Order high quality heating oil from a reputable heating oil delivery company like Point Bay Fuel. There are many benefits of using premium oil with additives. The additives are designed to reduce the accumulation of sediment and sludge in the tank. Point Bay uses an additive that has been proven to reduce sludge buildup. This prolongs the life of the tank, your heating system, and reduces service calls.
When To Replace Your Fuel Oil Tank
Usually, a heating oil tank deteriorates from the inside out due to the sediment and water that sits at the bottom. So, a tank can look like it is in good condition from the outside but it may be corroding from the inside. Most heating oil tanks last between 15 to 30 years. Some insurance companies and cities have laws in place that require homeowners to replace their tanks between the 15 to 20 year mark. It is wise to be cautious when it comes to your heating oil tank. Neglected tanks can lead to issues such as heating oil leaks.
There are signs that a homeowner can look for that show when to replace their heating oil tank.

Point Bay called and asked if I was able to have service on my furnace today instead of April. I was home so the 2 men came on the appointed time and introduced themselves and went to service my furnace.

Tom went over the entire history of the furnace realizing he had been here a few years ago on a no heat call checked all that needed to be checked and cleaned everything and replaced what needed to be replaced. From the time he got to my home he was very polite and worked every minute he was here, no cell phone break, no coffee break and no complaining about how tight it was to work in a small area! Bottom line is " Tom and Point Bay, Perfect Together " Thank You!
Great service

Unfortunately I forgot to ask the serviceman his name. It looks like CS-039 on my receipt. I was more than pleased with the service he performed on my furnace. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field and was willing to answer all my questions about my furnace. He is completely dedicated to his job and it shows in his work. He did an impeccable job cleaning up his work area when he was finished. I wish all the service workers I have dealt with had his work ethics. Your company is extremely lucky to have an employee like him. Just for the record, I am not related to or know anyone that is connected to this employee. My comments are strictly based on my recent service call and nothing more.
