Can I put an oil tank next to a fence?

Yes, oil tanks can go next to a fence as long as the fence is at least 0.76 metres away from the tank as its considered a non-fire-rated boundary. If the fence is closer than this, we would recommend installing a fire-resistant wall between the tank and the fence, that is at least 300mm taller and wider than the tank.

What are the regulations for an oil tank?

Key requirements include having the tank at a safe distance from buildings and boundaries, using a non-combustible and level base. All domestic tanks must be inspected annually.

Why can't oil be reused?

Oil cannot be reused because the oil degrades over time, becoming contaminated and creating a sludge that can clog fuel lines. The oil must be processed through specific industrial or specialised recycling methods to be made usable again.
