Oil Tank Rust-Proofing

When maintaining an oil storage tank, it's critical to take into account the potential damage that inclement weather might do to your machinery. Frost heaves and other ground movements, for instance, can cause the tank to shift, increasing its instability and making it more challenging to deliver fuel for heating. By taking the following actions, you can contribute to the protection of your oil tank:

• Clear the area around the tank of any tall grass or debris as these might encourage corrosion and rust.

• Rust-proof preparation applied generously can help prevent corrosion outside the tank. For optimal protection, be sure to coat the legs in addition to the bottom. For learn more, go to www.owlwaterproofers.com
