FAQs about Fuel Tank Removal

At Collingwood Fuels, we know that one of the advantages of serving the Collingwood, Ontario area as long as we have is being able to anticipate questions regarding fuel tank removal. While we are always more than happy to address any specific questions you might have, we thought we’d share with you some common ones.

I need fuel tank removal because it has corroded. Why did it do that?

Any iron-based metal is going to rust eventually, leaving you no choice but to replace it once it has corroded enough to begin leaking. There are many factors that determine how soon that will happen, including pH acidity of the soil, soil moisture, the quality of the fuel tank, the back fill material used, and if any damage occurred during installation.

Do I have to call for fuel tank removal if I’m no longer using it?

Ontario regulations require fuel tank removal for unused underground fuel tanks. However, you may submit an application for a variance to allow the tank to remain abandoned in the ground under certain circumstances.

What can happen if I don’t replace a fuel tank in a timely manner?

The first thing that can happen is that your fuel oil distributor may deem it unsafe to be used and would refuse to make a delivery to you. Another potential outcome is that your insurance carrier may choose not to provide insurance coverage until you replace the fuel tank. If your underground tank is leaking, the longer you wait to replace it, the more ground contamination you’ll face.
