OIL STORAGE TANK SITING
Consult OFTEC Manuals
It is very unlikely that a fire should start from a
domestic oil tank, however it does need to be protected
from a fire which may originate in a building nearby. For
this reason, the tank should be located at least 1.8
metres from any building and no closer than 760mm
from any boundary. If it must be closer than 1.8 metres,
the building wall should not have any openings other
than ventilation openings. In addition, the wall should
have at least 30 minutes fire resistance and extending
300mm higher and extends 300mm beyond both ends
of the tank is provided between the tank and the
terminating position and the wall should have a half
hour resistance to an internal fire and extend 1.8 metres
from any part of the tank.
A non-combustible radiation barrier is an
alternative but this must meet the requirements
of BS 5410 Part 1: 1997,“clause 28” Section 6.4.
Steel tanks must be mounted on brick or block
piers with a waterproof membrane between the
piers and tank.
See Oftec Technical Information T19
Oil storage tanks should not be sited
within 1.8m of boiler flue outlets.
Do not allow household waste or hot ashes
container in vicinity of oil storage tank or
boiler flue outlet.
FLEXIBLE OIL PIPE(S)
A flexible burner oil hose is supplied with the boiler
which must be wholly contained with in the appliance
case.
Please note: A filter must not be fitted inside the
boiler and all joints in the oil line MUST BE
OIL-TIGHT.
Soldered joints are not permissible.
Before connecting to the boiler always flush the
complete oil supply line and ensure that oil supply is
completely clean and free of any dirt or foreign
matter.
SINGLE PIPE SYSTEM
Where installations have the bottom of the tank above
the oil burner, a single pipe system may be used.The oil
burner should then be set for single pipe operation -
