Hoping someone can help.
Just moved into a new (to me) home that has an LPG boiler supplying hot water and heating with a 1200ltr bulk tank.
Current owner of the tank wants to charge me a fortune to supply LPG gas (42.9ppl) If i switch i could get it at 33ppl.
However, the tanks current position is not legal. It will have been when it was initially installed, i'm sure, but the problem is no new supplier will take on the tank and supply gas until the tank complies with current building regs.
To comply, i need to get it turned 90 degrees so that it is 3mtrs from anything.
Has anybody moved, tried to move a 1200ltr LPG bulk tank?
Can, will a heating engineer disconnect the tank when i empty it so that i can nudge it out of the way to create a new base for it at 90 degrees. Then move the tank and get the heating engineer to re-connect it up afterwards.
My current supplier won't move it, not surprised, they know i want to move it so that i can switch but they will continue to fill it as it is!!!!!!!!!
A new supplier wants £900+ plus VAT to move it!!!!!!!
