Corrosion in my oil furnace on site tank

Corrosion in my oil furnace on site tank

I have an oil furnace and I started noticing that my on site oil tank was leaking.

  • For awhile it was a tiny leak that I would just put towels down and instantaneously mop up.

When I left on a trip and came back a week later, it was a sizable mess. I ended up needing to replace my carpet due to the oil leakable. I also figured leaking oil is never a superb thing to have in a home. I had to call for a Terrell, TX furnace service to see if they could assess the harm. So what I had was corrosion in the oil tank. The entire tank needed to be replaced. I could have paid for the service and been back in business. I saw an occasion for improvement. I decided that rather than pay for the service I would do an oil to gas conversion instead. My Terrell furnace supplier does that sort of stuff all the time. Changing from oil to gas was quite self-explanatory. The tank was removed and gas hookups and a flue system were installed. Then I got ample square footage back, not dependent on oil deliveries, and a more reliable heating device, but having a gas furnace is just so much better in my opinion, and now I am on it to not experience any furnace repairs though. I don’t want to potentially have concerns with my brand current furnace that will reduce the lifespan of it. My goal is to keep this heating system operating for 20 years. Hopefully I can treat it just right.
