oil tank location

Hi,

does anyone have any idea about the upper distance for locating an oil tank from a boiler. I'm trying to push it 40 metres from the boiler (mrs wants it hidden at the bottom of the garden) with the oil tank 1 metre higher, with 6mm pipe.

 

Is this likely to cause any problems?

One thing to think about do not put it to fare from the road as it will need to be filled my tank and it would be a ****** if you fitted it all up and the tanker pope was not long enough to fill it up.

 

Ours is about 6m from my outside boiler next to the side of the house and about 4m from my house the council did say that it had to be 1m away from the wooden fence between the houses diesel is not very flammable unlike petrol so not much risk of fire it looks like I have a 6mm pipe going to the boiler

it will all depend on the boiler/pump installed as to what pipe sizing and head you can have. there are ways round it as said earlier with tigerloops etc. also what tank do you have?

Havn't decided on the tank yet , but if i can put it 40 meters away then it'll save me having to put a fire rated one in to replace the current location (its about 1 metre from the neighbours window)
