Oil tanks can be vulnerable to outside hazards. One of the biggest hazards is fire. Oil is highly flammable, and gas is explosive. If fire and these elements mix, disaster ensues. That’s why fire-rated oil tanks were created. Here at Bogue Oil, Inc our goal is to help you find the right option for your needs and lifestyle. Contact us today!
Fire-rated oil tanks, also known as fire resistant or fire protected oil tanks, are like any traditional heating tank with an extra layer of security. These oil tanks are insulated with a fire-resistant material. This material sits between the inner tank and the outer shell. This protects the tank and the oil inside from many outside dangers, such as lightning.
While the one major benefit of a fire-rated oil tank is obviously the protection against fire, there are many more benefits. While oil and heating tanks have to follow a very strict set of requirements and standards, fire-rated oil tanks have a little more freedom.
There are two main types of fire-rated oil tanks. There are plastic and steel oil tanks, and each of them have their own set of benefits and requirements. Those differences are listed below.
Are you thinking about converting to oil heating from gas, but aren’t sure if it’s worth the switch? We’re here to help you learn about the benefits and drawbacks of making the switch.
