Tank Maintenance

Inspection

Check your tank on a regular basis for corrosion, cracks and splits. These are all signs that your tank could be in need of replacement and about to leak or spill.

Location

When replacing your tank, it is important to choose a suitable location. It needs to be on a solid, level surface away from buildings and water sources. If your tank leaks into a water source, it can lead to a hefty fine.

Exposure

If your tank appears to be paler in colour, it could be getting damaged from over-exposure to the sun. This can make the outer area brittle and cause splits or cracks to appear. Metal tanks may appear rusted or damp.
