 Used Roth Oil Tank Installation
Author: Lee (NJ)

So a question I have about the Roth Oil Tank. I found a Roth Oil Tank from the year 2008 for sale. I would like to purchase this Roth Oil Tank. It has the leak indicator but I do not know how to read the indicator. How will I know if the Leak Indicator is indicating a Leak ? Will it say "Leak" or whatever ? I do not want to purchase a used Roth Oil Tank if it has experienced a leak and I just do not know how to read it. I wish I had a picture of the Leak Indicator ; but I do not. If I remember correctly the leak indicator was green or a dark color. How do I read the Leak Indicator ?

Further, I am guessing that since the Roth Oil Tank is from the year 2008 it probably has an accumulation of sludge laying on the bottom. I have pictures of the tank I am interested in purchasing. I will post the pictures. Question : I would like to raise the intake or supply pipe up further off the bottom of the tank(so it doesn't suck sludge and clog filters and nozzle). Will I be able to accomplish lifting the fuel line off the bottom? How would I do it ? Apparently the tank was being used as a one pipe system. I actually have a 2 pipe system presently.

Thank you Men for your help !

The "alarm" is red float that will rise up to give visual notice. According to Roth, it's common to have a small ring (1/8" )of red showing from normal usage.
