sandspider Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 Hi folks I've been offered a 2500l bunded oil tank for free. it's about 15 years old, but has been kept in a garage, apparently. Though the tank is free, a van to get it to me is likely to cost a fair bit of money, £200 maybe. is it worth it for a tank this old? I know they generally only have 10 year guarantees. Also, it's an older tank by QSS, they don't seem to be in business any more. I'm inclined to say not worth it, but a new tank of a similar size would cost £1500 maybe! Thanks.

I bought one for £250 14 years ago and it was then 15 years old. It has always been outside and is fine (apart from a broken cover). The outlet requires a filter service but other than that nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
