Leaking tanks we've been called to
Real photos from Oil Tank Environmental Services call-outs. If your tank looks anything like these, stop using it and ring us — a leaking tank is both a fire risk and a clean-up bill that grows every day it's left.
Kerosene pooling across a driveway
A split along the base seam of a single-skin plastic tank. Oil had tracked out across the concrete and towards the garden — drained, removed and the ground treated the same day.
Weathered single-skin tank
Twenty-plus years of UV and frost. The wall had gone brittle and was weeping from a hairline crack at the lower moulding — no bund to catch anything.
Leak beneath a tank on a flat roof
Fuel seeping from the outlet end and running along the roof membrane. High-risk position, so the tank was emptied first and lifted out in one piece.
Tank sagging on unsuitable block piers
Sat on loose blocks with no proper base. The unsupported floor had deformed and opened a seep at the seam — a very common cause of failure we see.
Buckets under a dripping tank
The homeowner had been catching drips for weeks. Anything caught in a bucket is oil in the ground too — this needs a drain and replacement, not a patch.
