Q. What is the difference between a single wall and double wall oil tank?

A. A single wall tank has one shell holding the fuel. A double wall tank adds a second, outer tank around it. Roth describes its DWT as a closed top dike tank providing both primary and secondary containment, so a leak from the inner tank is held by the outer tank.

Q. How long will a heating oil tank last?

A. It depends on the tank material, the location and the site conditions. Roth rates the DWT outer tank and base at a minimum expected life span of 30 years with normal use, and notes that prolonged exposure to water and salts can shorten it, so good drainage matters. Roth backs the DWT with a 30-year warranty when installed by a Roth Certified Installer.

Q. Are double wall fuel tanks secure and durable?

A. The Roth DWT pairs a seamless blow-molded polyethylene inner tank with a 19-gauge galvanized steel outer tank. Both are pressure tested at the factory, so no field testing is required, and the tank is listed under UL 2258 for nonmetallic aboveground tanks.

Q. Are double wall fuel tanks environmentally friendly and safe?

A. The Roth DWT is a closed top dike tank: the inner tank holds the fuel and the outer tank provides secondary containment. It includes an optical leak alarm, and Roth requires a vent alarm on every tank to warn against overfilling during a delivery and to keep the warranty valid.

Q. Does my tank have to be installed outdoors?

A. No. The Roth DWT is designed for indoor residential installation, such as a basement or utility room. It can also be installed outdoors with the matching Roth weather-tight cover and masonry supports. Installation must follow Roth's guidelines and local codes.

Q. What are the benefits of using a Double Wall Fuel Tank?

A. Built-in secondary containment, an optical leak alarm, a UL 2258 listing, and a 30-year warranty when installed by a Roth Certified Installer. It stores #2 fuel oil, diesel, bio-fuels up to B100 and K-1 kerosene.

Q. What are the installation requirements for a Double Wall Fuel Tank?

A. Roth requires installation by a Roth Certified Installer to keep the warranty valid. Every tank needs a vent alarm, fill and vent piping must be black iron or steel (copper is not permitted), and local codes and permits apply before installation.
