What Is Domestic Heating Oil?

Domestic heating oil, also known as kerosene or BS 2869 Class C2 fuel, is the preferred choice for many households in Ely that are not connected to mains gas. It is valued for its clean burn and reliable performance in boilers and central heating systems. Sometimes called 28-second oil, paraffin, or standard kero, it remains one of the most economical and dependable fuels for rural properties across Cambridgeshire.

Safe Storage & Regulations in Ely

Heating oil storage in Ely must follow UK safety regulations. Domestic tanks under 3,500 litres need to be durable, leak-resistant, and fitted with bunding or secondary containment where required. Fire safety guidance also applies, with tanks sited at least 1.8 m from doors, windows, flues, and boundaries. These rules, alongside Building Regulations and OFTEC guidance, are in place to protect your property and the environment.

We recommend regular servicing and inspections for Ely customers to ensure tanks remain compliant and heating systems continue to run efficiently. Preventative care helps reduce the risk of costly issues over time.
