For many years, home heating oil was one of the most reliable and economical ways to heat a home, especially in remote locations. Today, many people have switched to natural gas, which requires no on-site storage or propane because it burns cleaner, reducing appliance maintenance costs, and tends to cost less than oil. In both cases, after changing fuels, the old heating oil tank is typically removed.

To dispose of a fuel tank, specific procedures and regulations must be followed, especially for underground oil tanks in Medford, NJ, and the surrounding areas. At Harriett’s Energy Solutions, we have been helping our customers change from home heating oil to natural gas for over 90 years, and we are highly experienced with fuel tank removal procedures.

Why Should I Remove My Fuel Tank?

After switching to natural gas or propane, it is always good to schedule fuel tank removal in Mount Laurel or the surrounding South Jersey areas. Depending on the area and local requirements, the tank may either be in the basement, underground, or aboveground. In many cases, older tanks are subject to damage and corrosion, and they may pose environmental hazards if left in place. Here are a few reasons to consider removing the old fuel tank:

  • Even empty tanks may contain fuel residue and sludge
  • When not used, condensation can accumulate and cause leaks
  • Older tanks are prone to corrosion and leaks
  • Empty tanks occupy significant space

Even if you are not ready to switch to natural gas, you might be interested in having your oil tank checked because you might need an oil tank replacement at your Voorhees, NJ, home. Removing your fuel tank now will eliminate many of these problems, and our team at Harriett’s Energy Solutions can do it quickly, efficiently, and economically.

Oil Tank Replacement in Voorhees, NJ & Surrounding Areas

For those who still rely on home heating oil, the condition of your tank is important not only to the environment but also to the operation of your heating system. Tanks that are corroded or leaking may allow the fuel to become contaminated, which will damage appliances. This may also result in leaks that can contaminate water or soil. Any tanks over 10 to 15 years old are probably due for a fuel tank replacement in Riverton, NJ, or surrounding areas. Today’s modern tanks are made with more durable materials and modern methods that make them longer-lasting, safer, and resistant to leaks.

Oil Tank Removal in South Jersey

After switching to an alternative fuel like natural gas or propane, removing your old heating oil tank will require more than simply disposing of the old tank. The methods will vary depending on the location of the tank, but the typical steps include:

  • Transferring oil and sludge to a temporary tank
  • Excavation to access the tank
  • Purging and removing fuel lines and pipes
  • Cutting the tank into sections and cleaning and removing them
  • Sealing holes left by pipes or fuel lines

Other steps may be required, depending on the specific installation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Oil Tank Removal & Replacement

Can I remove my own oil tank?

No, you may not remove your own oil tank. Not only is it unsafe, but numerous environmental and safety regulations must be adhered to during the process. In the event of an oil spill, you can do significant damage to the property and the surrounding environment. This is a job that is always best left to professionals with the experience required to perform the task to the strictest standards.

How much does it cost to remove an old oil tank?

Cost depends on the size of the oil tank and the complexity of the removal. Before starting, our team will provide a thorough cost estimate that takes into account all known factors.

Do you have to remove an old oil tank?

Many property owners mistakenly believe that if it’s buried, it can be forgotten. Indeed, many times we are called to remove old oil tanks that homeowners and business owners had no idea were on the property. The fact is that forgetting an old oil tank can create significant hazards, and it should be professionally removed to protect health and safety.

Is oil tank removal covered by homeowners' insurance policies?

It depends on the insurance provider. Most policies exclude oil tanks from coverage unless specifically identified within a rider.  

How long does an oil tank last?

Most oil tanks will provide reliable storage for 15 to 20 years. How long a tank lasts depends on the quality of the construction, quality of the installation, performance of regular maintenance, and of course, environmental conditions that can degrade the tank’s structure.
