Standard OUTSIDE Oil Tank Installation - 100 gal OR 200 gal Primer Coated Tank

We supply and install both 100 and 200 gal BMI tanks.  A 100 gal tank is a good choice if you have another primary heat source, such as heat pumps.  Tanks are 12 gauge 2.5 mm. steel.

Tank comes with a grey primer coating (must be painted), one de-aerator, material, labor and disposal of old tank. Tanks are now required to be placed on 15 x 30 reinforced concrete supports. This is included in the installation.  Painted tanks (grey) are also available for an additional 100.00.  

Note:  Disposal of the old tank & materials is included in the price.   

These are the B139-15 Code clearances required when replacing an outside oil tank (with the B139-15 section referenced):

- 1.5 m (5 ft) or more from tank to property line 7.3.3 (b)
- 1.5 m (5 ft) or more from tank to a means of egress i.e. doors, ramps or stairways 6.4.2
- 600 mm (2 ft) minimum termination point of vent pipe from operable window or opening 8.3.8 (c)
- 39" from tank to electrical meter 6.4.4 (d)
- Posts are required to protect the tank from impact if in a driveway. 6.4.1

Obviously there are other code requirements, but these are the main ones that sometimes can be an issue. In most cases we can find a solution without much of a problem. Sometimes it is just a matter of shifting the tank over, extending the fill and vent pipe or moving the tank to another location.

Note: If you need help filling out an insurance form, please ask and we will assist you.
