What Is Domestic Heating Oil?

Domestic heating oil, also known as kerosene or BS 2869 Class C2 fuel, is widely used in Flitwick homes that are not connected to mains gas. Known for its efficient and clean burn, kerosene is ideal for powering boilers and central heating systems. Sometimes referred to as 28-second oil, paraffin, or standard kero, heating oil remains one of the most affordable and dependable fuels for rural and semi-rural households across Bedfordshire.

Safe Storage & Regulations in Flitwick

Heating oil tanks in Flitwick must comply with UK safety standards. For domestic tanks under 3,500 litres, rules require strong construction, leak resistance, and bunding or secondary containment where needed. Fire safety regulations also apply: tanks must be placed at least 1.8 m from windows, doors, flues, and boundaries, and positioned on a non-combustible base. These standards, supported by Building Regulations and OFTEC guidance, help protect your property and the environment.

We recommend Flitwick customers arrange regular tank inspections and servicing. Preventative maintenance helps reduce risks, ensures compliance, and keeps heating systems running efficiently year after year.
