Can You Move an Oil Tank?

Yes – but it must be done correctly. Moving an oil tank involves safely pumping out the remaining fuel, disconnecting oil lines, removing and repositioning (or disposing of) the tank, and reinstalling everything to OFTEC standards. Attempting this without a registered contractor can void your insurance and create environmental liability.

MPD Tanks handles every step of the process, so you don't need to coordinate multiple tradespeople. We leave the site clean and issue the appropriate compliance documentation.

Why Move an Oil Tank?

  • Building an extension or outbuilding where the tank currently sits
  • Tank is in an inconvenient location or doesn't meet current siting rules
  • Improving access for deliveries
  • Converting from oil to an alternative heating system
  • Decommissioning a property

What's Included

01

Pump-Out

We safely remove all remaining oil from your tank. Oil can be transferred to a new tank or collected by a licensed carrier.

02

Disconnection & Removal

All oil lines are disconnected and the tank is safely removed. We clean up the area and remove all associated pipework.

03

Repositioning or Disposal

If relocating, we site the tank in the new compliant position and reconnect. If decommissioning, we arrange proper licensed disposal.

04

Reconnection & Testing

New oil lines are fitted, valves and gauges installed, and the full system tested before we leave.

Tank Removal & Decommissioning

If you no longer need an oil heating system, we can fully decommission your tank. This includes pumping out all remaining fuel, degassing the tank to make it safe, disconnecting and removing all pipework, and arranging disposal through a licensed carrier.

A decommissioned tank that is left in place without proper treatment can become a safety hazard and may affect property sales. We provide written documentation of the decommissioning work for your records.
