General

You may want to enclose your heating oil tank to reduce the risk of oil theft, or even to enhance the aesthetics of your property.

There are some important factors to consider as there are very specific rules governing the location of heating oil tanks, and you must take these rules into account when making any changes to your property and/or the location of your fuel tank. It's also important to ensure your driver and engineer can easily access your tank for refilling and tank maintenance, and you can access it to check your fuel level

Planting tall grasses, shrubs or hedges - choose evergreens for all-year-round coverage, or building a wall can effectively conceal your tank.
