Oil water separator

clammy

If you are getting water into your #2 oil tank fix the promblem water in the bottom of a steel tank is NG can cause tank to rust and leak .Find where your getting water from using a oil seperator is not the true fixer .Is this a below groung tank and is it a single or two pipe oil line system .I have seen tanks get moisture from 2 pipe systems with long oil line runs back ever year ends up costing you filter replacements and it does no good for your fuel pump also .Find the cause check fill and vent piping a oil leak into the ground is not a cheap clean up last one i knew of was only about 250 gallons and only cost about 35,000 bucks .The HO was pissed but he was the guy who put cinder blocks under the tank and was notified many many times of tge tanks condition ,there went this guys retirement money no tank insurance and n he still went with a extra cheapo single wall tank he will never learn good luck and peace clammy

I have never seen a oil-water separator installed on an oil tank. Why? It makes sense. I went down to my plumbing supply house and asked them for a good oil-water separator and they looked at me like I had three heads. I know marine supply houses carry them. And think of the extra $$$ going back a couple of times a year to dump the water out of the filter.

Why? Water simply isn't a huge problem in a well maintained system. Unless the fill cap is left off and it rains, or someone sticks a water hose down the fill, it just isn't enough of a problem. just something else in the line to create more vacuum and maintenance. I don't know about you, but I spend enough time in boiler rooms as it is.

I agree, I don't know what he's getting at. For those cases where you have some water, I have had good luck with oil/water seperators from Gar-Ber and Nozzle Guard.
