Top Ways to Prepare Your MA or CT Oil Tank for Summer

1. Fill Your Tank

Many people don’t know that warm weather can cause oil tanks to collect internal condensation and corrode from the inside out. Since this damage isn’t visible to the naked eye, by the time your tank sprouts a leak it will be too late to reverse. The simple fix is keeping your oil tank full year-round.

Excessive heat and humidity can contribute to condensation and corrosion inside the tank. Keep the area around the tank ventilated and dry. Using a dehumidifier in damp basements can help protect your tank.
