                    even down to the tank dimensions. I think Roth mentions a  million dollar clean up insurance policy they give with the tank if it were to fail.

            Dbl-Wall Oil Tanks- DeHoust vs Roth-Any Differences?
 Double-Walled Safety Oil Tanks- Two German products:
 DeHoust (imported by Granby) vs Roth. Any Differences?
 can anybody comment from experience on anything (design, durability, features, price-higher/lower-no detail!, availability, ease of install, etc) between these two brands?
 or are we talking roughly the same product?
 thanx,

            I have two Roths...
 ... and I am very impressed with them for something as simple as a oil tank. Plastic inner, galvanized steel outer skin with a takeoff from the top. In other words, these puppies never ought to leak, and if they do, an pop-up indicator will tell you that one of the tanks has a hole.
 I also like the oversize fittings at the top that can be hand-assembled. The oil-level indicator is a cute float that whizzes up and down on a wound spring. Capacities range from 400 gallons down to 110, as can be seen on this page with tank specifications.
 Getting them into place is a breeze because they don't weigh nearly as much as a traditional steel tank. Plus, Roth (thoughtfully) put lifting handles on the ends to make it easy. The tall, narrow shape allows these tanks to navigate through narrow doorways. If it's a tight location, you can gain capacity by tying multiple narrow tanks together.
 The Roth header system allows you to fill a lot of tanks at the same time via two common headers (one supply, one vent), so that you only need two exterior wall penetrations, even if there are 5 tanks down there. Roth tanks can also be used on the exterior, though I think you need a Roth rain cap of some sort if you want to go that route.0

            Well...
 Both very nice and very similar tanks, but if you need a lower profile tank for a taller crawlspace or very low basement, then the DeHoust will fit where the tall Roth won't.0
