A single-walled steel oil tank can last as little as 15 years, according to Inspectpedia which means if your New Jersey was built before 2005 – or if you purchased your home around then and haven’t replaced your oil tank since – you’re probably due for a heating oil tank replacement.
It may be tempting to think that your heating oil tank can keep going for years – after all, it’s made of steel (!), and hasn’t shown any signs of rust or leakage.
But don’t let your eyes fool you: even if your heating oil tank looks OK from the outside, it doesn’t necessarily mean that all’s well below the surface. Many older heating tanks – especially single-wall steel models – corrode from the inside due to trapped moisture and sediment.
That means you won’t see obvious signs of a problem (rust or leaks) or know a tank failure is coming until it’s too late – which is no fun considering that remediation and replacement costs for heating oil tanks are not usually covered by your homeowner’s insurance.
