Heating oil tank stop cock/shut off valve.

Does the heating oil tank stop cock need to be a special one for oil or will a water type on work?

Mines seized and the tank is currently empty so need to change it quickly before my delivery arrives.

The ones I have seen are full bore gate valves..... which are used for plumbing water....

I dont think they have any seals in them that can be damaged by the oil.... so that might be a good option... you can get gate valves that go up to around 70mm bore..

Best option is to find a local trade place that does oil tanks and ask their advice. Im sure my local plumbcentre does oil stuff.

That would have done it in a smaller bare dinojuice.

Got it sorted now. Plumb centre for the filter and go the tap freed off. Cost me a grand total of 3 quid for the filter.

Just need me oil to come now!
