Fuel and Heating Oil Security

Where possible, please keep your fuel tank locked up and alarmed. 

Ideally, tanks should be sited within a secure building or cage. If it’s impossible to keep your tank inside a building, plant spiky shrubs or fencing to hide your tank and surround the area with gravel.

Consider installing anti-siphon devices. These devices will alert you of any sudden drop of oil level within your tank. Install motion sensing CCTV and lighting. CCTV can now be linked to your phone, giving you peace of mind and real time alerts at any time of the day or night.
