Are You Properly Piped?

If your oil tank is indoors, and your fill pipe is not up to the Fire Marshall's code, you're taking risks with your home.

If you don't have a signal alarm, your delivery person can't prevent over filling. If your fill-pipe's vent is too small, you risk getting inaccurate deliveries. We'd like to help you fix it up right.

What the law says

Your pipe must be made of steel. It must have a properly sized air vent and signal alarm (or whistle).

If you have recently removed a tank anywhere on your property, you must remove all piping as well, so that the delivery person does not mistake it for one that is in use.

What you can do about it

We want all of our customers to comply with the law. It's easy, inexpensive, and can prevent big problems later.

We can give you advice and guidance to make sure that you do it right. We can supply you with the pipe and fittings. If you don't wish to do it yourself, we can recommend a reputable contractor, who can take care of everything.

Check your status

Recently our drivers checked all of our customers' fill-pipes to see if they comply with state regulations. If you're not sure about yours, call us.
