I want to make a visual barrier, for my oil tank, made of wood. I see in the Oftec regulations that the minimum distance from a combustible boundary or building is 760mm, but I cannot see anything about a surround for the oil tank.
I know that they regard the distance as protection from fire in a boundary or building from reaching the oil tank - the tank is not regarded as a fire risk in itself.
So, can a surround be regarded as not being a fire risk to the tank? I can place the wood surround 500mm from the tank.
