Field_of_Dreams Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Hi all, Just looking at some building regs and it mentions the need for an oil tank that is within a certain distance from a building or boundary needs to have a "Fire Wall" between the tank and the boundary/building. It needs to have at least 30 minutes resistance. So... is this a special block or do they all tend to last that long or longer? I am not fussed what it looks like as I will eventually grow some plants up it ? Any insight appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
