Service & Accessories
Service
Our “Toptank all-round carefree package” includes: Cleaning, maintenance of leak detector, cathodic protection, fill level indicator, filling and burst protection. Thanks to the oil management system, you can keep an eye on your oil level at all times.
Oil filtration
Our specialized oil filtration is used specifically for system renovations, during a tank inspection for heavily contaminated heating oil or in the course of a planned decommissioning .
- The special filter removes ultra-fine particles down to 2 micrometers in size.
- This eliminates the risk of blockages in the oil lines and reliably prevents clogging of the burner nozzles.
- We remove unwanted residues in heating or diesel oil and actively slow down the ageing process of the medium.
Product change
Every planned product change requires a detailed due diligence to guarantee long-term system safety. We clarify the decisive parameters for you:
- Which product should be restocked?
- Condition of the tank coating (paint or special coating)
- Condition of the entire piping system (dispensers, vapor recovery and vent lines)
To ensure a trouble-free and safe process, it is essential to open and technically inspect the tank beforehand. We actively support you in this critical phase.
Leak Detection Devices
Our leak warning devices – the highly developed leak detection systems – permanently monitor your tank system and react immediately with an alarm in the event of leaks.
We distinguish between the following monitoring technologies (maintenance interval: every 2 years):
- Ideal for the permanent inspection of leak protection linings and PVC inner linings.
- Specialized in tanks for the storage of media with a flash point above 55 degrees Celsius.
- For monitoring product lines and double-walled tanks containing media with a flash point below 55 degrees Celsius (e.g. gasoline).
- For dedicated monitoring of critical tank shafts.
The space between the double tank walls is continuously monitored by means of pressure or vacuum. If a leak occurs, the device triggers an immediate visual and audible high alarm from.
Important for your planning:
For the legally prescribed, regular service and maintenance of your leak detector, we offer you a customized service agreement , which ensures maximum relief for you.
Cathodic protection systems
Cathodic corrosion protection (KKS) is a innovative electrochemical process that prevents the formation of rust. reliably and actively neutralized. This system is essential for maximum extension of the service life of your oil tank and makes a decisive contribution to Environmental protection.
The technology of cathodic protection
Corrosion is an electrochemical process in which electricity flows from the metal structure (tank, pipes) into the surrounding electrolyte (soil, water), dissolving metal particles and destroying the material.
Cathode protection reverses this destructive process. We initiate a controlled direct electric current onto the metal structures to be protected (cathodic polarization). This reverses the direction of flow of the corrosion current: it now flows from the electrolyte back into the protected object. As no more current escapes from the metal structure, the release of metal particles is prevented. stopped and corrosion completely prevented.
Important for your planning
We recommend that you always carry out the function check of the cathodic protection together with the legally prescribed service of your leakage warning device – for maximum system safety
Level indicators
We offer you various intelligent options to keep you precisely informed about your heating oil level at all times:
- Manual basis: The dipstick is the most direct method and, with the exception of small tank systems, is prescribed by law. It still forms the basis for the inventory today.
- Mechanical indicators: Various mechanical dial gauges offer a simple and economical solution. They are uncomplicated, but do not offer the highest level of precision.
- Electronic sensors: These battery-operated devices use ultrasound or light technology to provide high-precision measurement data. They are extremely accurate and transmit the current results directly via e-mail or SMS if required.
For digital, location-independent fill level queries and automatic notifications, please use our oil management section.
Oil management
With our intelligent oil management system you get digital real-time transparency about your heating oil level.
The smart measuring system: On your tank we install a autonomous measuring device that works completely without a power or telephone connection. It records the fill level every five hours and regularly transmits the precise measurement data to our server (every three days in winter and every seven days in summer).
Your control center: You can check the fill level of your property around the clock. retrieve online and evaluate the consumption data in detail. This function is essential for seamlessly accurate heating cost billing.
Proactive logistics management: The system actively supports you in purchasing. You or persons authorized by you (e.g. janitors) receive automatic notifications or text messages as soon as the fill level exceeds the critical marks of 30 % and 15 % achieved. This ensures that the next delivery guaranteed not to be forgotten will be sent. You can forward this notification directly to your supplier.
Overfill Prevention Devices
The electro-optical probes of our filling safety devices are your digital fill level limit. They are connected to the tanker truck and immediately provide a pulse when the tank reaches the maximum fill level. This is how a Overfilling reliably excluded.
Mechanical overfill protection is a simpler, non-networked option that we recommend primarily for extreme logistics situations in which tankers cannot fill directly (e.g. exposed mountain areas).
Bursting safety devices
Burst protection (overpressure protection) is mandatory for cellar tanks. This special spring valve works in addition to the normal venting and prevents a pressure higher than the permissible test pressure from developing in the tank.
Your added value:
- System protection:It protects the heating oil tank from deformation or, in the worst case, from an explosion due to pressure build-up.
- Environmental safety: It prevents oil from escaping into the cellar or the surrounding area via the vent. In the event of a leak, the oil is directed into the drip tray in a controlled manner and can simply be pumped out from there .
Here you will find a video tutorial on how to install the bursting safety device.
Frequently asked questions

Heating oil tanks should be inspected with internal cleaning every ten years.
The last revision date: Where can I view it?
The date of the last work carried out can be found on the audit sticker on the tank compartment door.
Are the costs higher for inspections in winter?
No. We will provide you with a temporary heating system free of charge.
What is the maximum number of liters that can be removed without additional costs?
Maximum 15,000 liters.
