sid Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 One of our English friends has had a new oil boiler fitted and the chauffagiste advised him to have the oil storage tank cleaned. Apparently there was quite a lot of sludge in the bottom but only a couple of inches of oil, 200 litres, so the timing was ideal.The invoice was for 400€, which sounds steep to me when you can get a full fosse (3000 litres) emptied for 180€-200€.Is it because the waste treatment is more expensive for oil products? Anyone else had this done recently? Sid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 [quote]The invoice was for 400€[/quote]was it the same guy who installed the new boiler by any chance who also cleaned the tank??It does seem a bit steep. What would the cost of a new tank have been?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sid Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 No, it wasn't same guy BUT he did recommend him.The tank is steel; I don't know if that's better than a new plastic one. Castorama have new ones at 514€ but I'm sure I've seen them cheaper.With the plastc ones you can at least see the level of the oil going down (rapidy in this weather)... how nice!
