 FAQ ABOUT OUR TANK-GUARD® PROGRAM

What is Tank Guard?

Tank-Guard is an effective rust and corrosion inhibitor which is made to be used in heating oil tanks.  It helps to prevent tank leaks, and it is backed by a valuable warranty.  If you tank ever does leak from internal corrosion while it is enrolled in the program, your tank will be replaced for free Including Labor.  Your enrollment must be renewed annually to retain the warranty protection.

How does the Tank Guard warranty work?

If your tank leaks from internal corrosion while it is enrolled on the Tank Guard program, you will receive a replacement tank at No Charge.  Call us immediately when you notice a leak.  We will check the tank and install a temporary patch if necessary.  Then we'll arrange to have it replaced.  Your only cost would be for the permit and perhaps some safety upgrades required by new Massachusetts fire codes.  (Refer to the warranty notice slip for exact warranty language).

Why would my tank rust?

Moisture condenses from the air inside all oil tanks - even indoor tanks.  The moisture (actually a small amount of accumulated water) is heavier than oil, and stays on the tank bottom where it can rust the metal, eventually causing a leak.

How do you install Tank Guard in my tank?

We pour it in during a regular delivery.

How often will you treat the tank?

It is treated once a year.  This provides the best protection, and is also required for continuation of the warranty.

How can such a little bottle of Tank Guard do any good?

It is a concentrate and it is water soluble.  It does not mix with the large quantity of oil in your tank.  It mixes only with the relatively small amount of moisture and sludge at the tank bottom.

What happens if the Tank Guard gets into my oil burner?

There is no harmful effect.  The Tank Guard will burn right along with the oil.

How long will oil tanks last?

The useful life on an oil tank is unpredictable.  Variables can include the amount of moisture condensation and the quality of the tank metal.

I have a new oil tank.  Why would I need Tank Guard?

This is the ideal time to start with Tank Guard.  The tank probably has very little rust now, and Tank Guard will prevent any new rusting.  It's a good safety measure.

My tank is (5 - 20) years old.  Can Tank Guard really help?

It would be a good idea.  Tanks in that age range will have some amount of rust developing, and sometimes they do leak.  Actually, experience has shown the newer tanks made with recycled metals often tend to corrode and leak more quickly than tanks installed many years ago.

My tank is over 20 years old.  Can Tank Guard really help?

Yes, is can help your tank.  It can't repair rust damage that's already done.  But, Tank Guard can help to prevent further internal damage to the tank, so it is definitely worth using.  Plus, if your tank should leak while it is enrolled on the program, it will be covered by the warranty which would give you a replacement tank for no charge.

Why are underground tanks excluded?

With all the legal implications of underground tank leaks and the possible contamination, we are not allowed to assume any responsibilities for these tanks.

What about repaired tanks?

Repaired tanks (fiberglass cloth, epoxy, strapped on metal patch, cement lining, etc) are not eligible for the Tank Guard program.  A repaired tank is a potential safety hazard so if you have one we recommend that you replace it now with a new tank.

Does the tank Guard warranty cover damages from spilled oil?

No.  The Tank Guard warranty relates only to the provision of a replacement tank.

Do aboveground tank leaks usually cause contamination?

Leaks from internal corrosion usually start as slow drips, and usually is detected before much has dripped out.  It can usually be wiped up from a cement floor.  Actually, the oil line supplying the burner is considered a larger risk.  If yours is not protected with a plastic outer sleeve, we recommend that you schedule us to come over soon to make this safety upgrade.
