Cleaning the Tank
DO NOT allow water, sludge, or other debris to accumulate in your oil supply tank to the point that non-
combustible or harmful materials are drawn into the pump or burner.
Drain water and sludge from the bottom of your tank at least once a year, and more frequently with
water accumulation.
NOTE: If your used oil tank has not been cleaned on a regular basis, a considerable amount of sludge,
etc. may have accumulated on the bottom of the tank. Under these circumstances, it is advisable for you
to hire your used oil hauler to pump the tank. Make sure the tank is pumped to the bottom to remove
all sludge, etc. from the tank (your used oil hauler may charge an additional fee for this type of service).
The best time to pump the used oil tank is at the end of the heating season when the tank is low. This
allows sufficient time to refill the tank with used oil (generated by your company over the summer
months) so that you have adequate fuel for the heating season.
