Tank Protection Program

PROACTIVE TANK CARE

Let us show you how to give your clients the best tank protection program in the business, reduce service calls, call-backs and repeat calls and increase your profit margin. The oldest and best tank protection program in the industry and the only one I will promote or endorse.

The TANK-GUARD® Program is a corrosion protection and warranty service for aboveground fuel oil tanks up to 330 gallons capacity. It is now offered by us through a select network of dealers and contractors. With this program, you can offer your customers an effective chemical corrosion inhibitor plus the security of our "peace-of-mind" tank replacement warranty.

Experts recommend using a chemical corrosion inhibitor to reduce internal tank damage. Our program is a cost effective way for homeowners to protect their tanks against internal corrosion, plus it provides a welcome and valuable warranty benefit if a tank needs to be replaced. With today's oil prices, the unexpected cost of replacing a tank could be the "last straw" that drives customers away.

For you, it is a service option that can contribute to customer loyalty and provide an extra profit every year without additional investment. With TANK-GUARD®, you have no financial risk for the tanks that are enrolled in our program. There is no up front inventory or equipment investment, and you are guaranteed a profit at the start of each year.

When it comes to customer satisfaction, there is no question that the oil tank is often the
Achilles heel of an oil heat system. Even with today's technology, predicting when a residential oil tank might leak is unrealistic in any practical sense. But you can still work proactively to protect tanks against corrosion and be prepared to cushion the financial impact of tank failures. That's exactly what the TANK-GUARD® Program will do for you.

HEATING OIL TANK INSPECTION

Complacency about aboveground heating oil tanks poses risks for your business as well as for your customers. The National Oilheat Research Alliance (NORA) has identified heating oil tank safety as "the most important issue affecting the heating oil industry ." The main safety concern is to avoid the accidental release of fuel oil from the oil tank itself or from other tank system components, such as fill or vent piping, oil supply line, etc.

Most Oilheat Dealers inspect, or at least look at, some of the tanks that they deliver to. The tanks which are most likely to get checked are ones that are covered by service contracts or special tank programs - but, for most Dealers, that leaves the majority of customer tanks unchecked. These unseen tanks should be viewed as "strangers", and delivering to them blindly is very risky business.

For aboveground tanks, regular visual tank inspection by qualified Service Technicians is probably the best action that a fuel supplier or service contractor can take to minimize the risk of tank failures. This has been the industry norm and is still the best approach to tank evaluation. This practice is recommended by NORA, by tank manufacturers and by insurance companies and is now required under MA M.G.L. 453.

Visual inspections can catch most of the problems with tanks and tank systems. Corrosion inside the tank cannot be seen, but most internal corrosion leaks develop slowly and will be noticed as a wet spot on the tank exterior by visual inspections before there is a release of oil. Installing inexpensive leak containment trays under oil tanks will offer protection between inspections and prevent damage from most corrosion leaks. Our tank program allows for both service contractors and fuel dealers to profit while protecting without a huge up front inventory or expensive and questionable electronic equipment investment.

The great value of early detection of deficiencies is to be able to recommend corrective service or a tank replacement before there is a significant problem. Spill avoidance is the reason that insurance companies want anyone filling or servicing tanks to inspect those tanks and why it is now required by law in Massachusetts.

Your goal should be to inspect every tank that you deliver to. Why risk a major liability claim, and maybe your company, by delivering blindly to one of the "stranger" tanks?

Obviously, inspecting all the tanks will take extra effort on your part, but you can maximize the value of this effort by keeping the inspection information in a way that will allow it to be useful in the future and possibly lower your level of liability. Storing this information in an interactive database is the key to leveraging the inspection effort and making it work for you. Our TANK CHECK™ oil tank tracking system can give you the tools you need to store your tank information in an easily accessible format and to evaluate each tank for safety risk factors.

TANK CHECK™ is an inexpensive web based software system that will give both you and your customers vital information about tank safety. It is an important management tool and profit center for you, and it can be presented as a valuable added benefit for your customers. TANK CHECK™ can be used as a stand-alone service or as an enhancement to the TANK-GUARD® corrosion protection and warranty program.
