Oil tank located currently in an outhouse needs to be replaced and doesn't meet current regulations anyway. Not many options to put it anywhere else as the yard between the outhouse and house is pretty small. Has anyone installed an integral 60 minute fire-checked bunded tank (like the tuffa ones) in a garage or outhouse? OFTEC don't sanction them directly but apparently local building control will and have approved them. If a solution can't be found then only option will be to change central heating completely, which will be ridiculously expensive. I can't see why there should be a problem and have seen plenty of articles about their 30 minute protection tanks being installed up against fences and by windows etc, just can't find an example of one in an outhouse or garage type of building. Am going to contact local Buidling control as OFTEC themselves weren't particularly helpful. Local OFTEC technicians don't seem to know much about these tanks. Any advice, please? Thanks,
