Hi All,

We recently had our tank refilled and it was very smelly within about
5 meters in any direction of it over the weekend. My feeling was that
this was just normal for the weather we had this weekend. But my wife
thinks there must be a problem.

So, are your tanks also smelly at the moment?


In general my oil tank does not smell. I suspect you have a leak.



Or because it's just been refilled possibly some spillage outside of the
tank.

Last summer in very hot weather I was standing on top of a fuel tank nk
(one foot on a ladder, one foot on the tank) cutting down a friend's
overgrow hedge and despite a prolonged spell of hot weather in the
preceding couple of weeks no smell of fuel was detected.
