Total Energy Services recently completed an oil tank replacement near Yeovil, Somerset, installing a modern bunded Deso oil tank for a property that relies on oil-fired heating.

Many homes in the rural areas surrounding Yeovil depend on oil heating systems because they are not connected to the mains gas network. Over time, oil tanks can degrade due to weather exposure, age, and UV damage, making replacement necessary to maintain safe fuel storage.
Our engineers regularly install new oil tanks and carry out oil tank replacements across Somerset, helping homeowners upgrade to safer and more reliable systems.
The existing oil tank at the property had been in service for many years and was beginning to show signs of deterioration. Older tanks can become fragile and may eventually develop cracks or leaks.
Common reasons homeowners in Yeovil choose to replace their oil tanks include:
The tank is reaching the end of its lifespan
The tank is single skin rather than bunded
Visible damage or warping to the tank structure
Concerns about environmental protection
Replacing an ageing tank before failure occurs is the safest way to avoid oil leaks and costly environmental clean-up.
Our team removed the old oil tank and installed a new Deso bunded oil tank, providing improved protection and long-term durability.
Bunded oil tanks are designed with two layers of protection, meaning if the inner tank fails, the outer bund safely contains the oil. This significantly reduces the risk of oil escaping into the surrounding environment.
As part of the Yeovil installation, our engineers carried out:
Removal and safe disposal of the old oil tank
Preparation of the installation base
Positioning and installing the new bunded tank
Connecting the oil supply line to the heating system
Final safety and compliance checks
The homeowner now has a secure and compliant oil storage system that will provide reliable service for many years.
Installing a new oil tank provides several advantages for homeowners using oil heating.
Improved safety
Bunded tanks provide secondary containment to prevent oil spills.
Environmental protection
Modern tanks help protect soil, groundwater, and nearby drainage systems.
Regulatory compliance
Many installations now require bunded tanks to meet environmental guidelines.
Longer lifespan
New oil tanks are built to withstand weather exposure and last for many years.
