Possibly. You may just have a loose fitting or a leak in the oil line. If your tank has rust along its bottom or is showing any signs of “weepage” (which may appear as an oily stain on the tank) call us immediately to schedule an estimate for tank replacement. Do not remove rust from the bottom of your oil tank as that could result in a major breach!

Quarantining new fish is a good habit for all aquaria, but is not absolutely necessary for success. Quarantining is simply keeping a fish in a separate tank for long enough to be certain that it is disease free. Many beginners do fine without a quarantine tank, and object to the cost of another setup.

Some oil separation or "puddling," which is sometimes seen on top of grease in pails or drums, should not be a problem. Oil separation is usually insignificant when compared with the mass of grease in the container. Normally, the separated oil can be safely stirred back into the bulk of the grease in the container. Experience has shown that much of this time-related oil separation can be reduced if the surface of the grease is kept smooth during storage, i.e.

No. Our normal call is from a customer who has just had a delivery of oil - this is the normal time for a tank to develop a leak. We can pump out and hold two thousand seven hundred litres on our vehicle.

All known oil tanks and systems are compatible with Bioheat® fuel at blends of 20% or less. For higher biodiesel blends, up to and including 100% biodiesel, compatibility will depend on the materials (metals, plastics, and rubber parts) in your tanks, pumps and fuel lines. For blends higher than 20% biodiesel only steel, mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, fluorinated polyethylene fluorinated polypropylene and fiberglass vessels are recommended.

oil dealer or an oil recycler can pump the oil out of the tank. Look in your phone directory under oil or waste oil for the names of companies who perform this service.

Yes, this is completely normal for a BARFing dog. The reason your dog is pooping less is because most of the food he is now ingesting, is being digested and properly utilized by the body...thus, less waste. The RMBs account for it turning white. If you notice your dog straining while pooping, you can up the veggies a bit; however, straining a little bit can help express the anal glands, which would normally be done by your vet, at a price!

Most replacement tanks are installed above ground. They are less likely to leak and any problems can easily be spotted with a periodic inspection. Above-ground tanks usually have a 275-gallon capacity and are installed either in the yard or basement. Most local governments require that above-ground tank installations comply with seismic codes to reduce the likelihood that the tank will tip and spill during an earthquake.

The general rule of thumb in aquarium keeping is to have no more that one inch of fish per gallon of water. Thus, if you had a twenty gallon tank (with no substrate or rocks to diminish the total water volume), you could have five 4-inch fish. This formula also assumes you will change 25% of the tank volume each week. See What is a water change? Why is it important? for more details. Realistically, however, you will need to consider the following factors when choosing what size tank to purchase:

I suggest using an HP tank with it because the Shocker, as well as 99% of all other guns, are designed to work with HP tanks. LP tanks are only needed on a specific type of Angel, if you don't own that then don't worry about it. Some LP tanks aren't fast enough to perform well on a Shocker.

You may need the UFAN if you are using the Ultra in particularly stressful situations: near the ceiling with the model lights on full all day, with warm temperatures in the studio, or if the light is enclosed in a soft box or other similar apparatus. Basically, the light should not get so warm that its uncomfortable to hold your hand on the case just behind the head area where the reflector mounts.

No municipal permits are required to remove your buried oil tank. However, installation of a new tank will require a permit. Whether placed inside or outside, the tank installation will require a permit from the Building Department.

Nope. If you got it from a Dealer in a Sealed Plastic Bag it is pre-oiled. Just use the Method Above to pry the plastic frame apart and reinsert it. The foam does break down naturally after a while, sometimes lasts a couple of years, sometimes not. If you live in an area high in ozone, it will break down the foam fairly quickly. After 2 years some have noticed the filter starting to "dust", but a new pre oiled filter is only $6.

Keeping your oil tank nearly full during the summer reduces the amount of condensation that will occur in your tank. Condensation occurs naturally when it is cooler inside the tank compared to the outside temperature. This trapped moisture can lead to bacteria growth and the development of sediment at the bottom of your tank. Our Tank Guard service is also recommended for prolonging the life of your tank.

Take a yard stick, or a long, thin stick, insert it in the tank, then measure the inches of oil left on the stick. The amount of oil depends on the size of the tank and the number of inches in it. There are sticks available from us to make this easier. Not all tanks can be stuck, however, if the tank is under the residence, call us to fill it. Some tanks also have gauges on them.

Owners must register their oil tank, at no charge, with the Technical Standards and Safety Authority. Depending on the age of the tank you will be required to remove it or upgrade it by a certain date.

For the purposes of DEQ's program, a heating oil tank is an underground tank used for storing heating fuel for use on site. The heating oil tank is part of a heating oil system that should be maintained and, if necessary, replaced just as roofs, appliances, furnaces and water heaters that require on-going maintenance and are replaced when they are no longer useful. The useful life of an unprotected steel tank is about 20 years.

Underground heating oil tanks are a potential source of contamination of the soil and groundwater, may pose a fire and explosion hazard under certain conditions, and heating oil from leaking underground tanks may impact human health. Underground tanks also corrode and over time may weaken to the point where they can no longer hold fuel.

Oil tank removal and installation is subject to state safety codes. For example, in Massachusetts the local Fire Chief is the oversight authority, and permits are required for both the removal of the old tank and the installation of the new tank. The proper permits must be obtained and the work must be performed by a Licensed Technician. Please refer to the Replacement Checklist page for details to consider when replacing a leaking oil tank.
