All oil tanks should be cleaned and inspected regularly. This prevents environmental risks and unexpected costs caused by a leaking tank and guarantees uninterrupted operation of the fuel system. According to current regulations, the owner or possessor of a property is responsible for any soil cleaning costs caused by a leaking tank.
By virtue of an official decision, underground oil tanks in important groundwater areas must be inspected at regular intervals.
The first inspection is due within 10 years of commissioning the tank. The schedule for further inspections will be determined on the basis of the tank condition class confirmed at the first inspection.
