Description
A fuel tank soaker that will absorb any accumlulated water from heating oil tanks
Application
Water build up or condensation naturally happens in all fuel storage tanks because of the constant atmospheric temperature changes. Water contamination then settles at the bottom of the tank. If there is water present in fuel, problems arise from water entering the heating system instead of the fuel and causing damage to the burner or boiler, also increasing the growth of bacteria. As a result this promotes tank sludge.
Condensation occurs in most Heating Oil and Red Diesel tanks which can not only contaminate the fuel, but can also cause rust to form in the bottom of steel tanks. The Tank Soaker is lowered into the tank via the attached cord and can be easily be removed when full.
It is weighted so that it lays flat on the bottom of your tank.
The soaker contains super absorbent polymers which soaks up any water but is impervious to fuel.
From 1st April 2022, the UK Governments legislation concerning the use of rebated oils (Red Diesel and Red HVO) changes. At Budget 2020 the government announced that it was removing entitlement to use rebated diesel from most sectors, with exceptions for agriculture, horticulture, fish farming and forestry; Heating and electricity generation in non-commercial premises ; Marine crafts ; Railway vehicles ; Amateur sports clubs and golf courses; Travelling fairs and circuses.
This means that current customers of rebated oils (Gas Oil) including red biodiesel (Red H.V.O.) will need to change over to DERV (white diesel) BEFORE 1st April 2022. This change will significantly increase your fuel costs and affect credit lines. If you have any questions regarding these changes, please contact our Sales team for help.
