Expired Oil Tanks and HOST Tags
A HOST tag expiry date is easy to overlook until fuel delivery, insurance, or a home sale brings it forward. If your tank is expired or nearing expiry, it is worth planning the next step before you are under deadline pressure.

A HOST tag expiry date is easy to overlook until fuel delivery, insurance, or a home sale brings it forward. If your tank is expired or nearing expiry, it is worth planning the next step before you are under deadline pressure.
Use the form below to describe your tank, community, access, and timing. If the work involves a rebate, sale, insurance file, or active fuel concern, include that detail from the start.
What a HOST Tag Shows
GovNL explains that registered heating oil tanks have a HOST tag attached to the vent pipe. The tag includes a number and a stamped expiry date. Their example notes that a tag stamped 7-2028 means the tank can no longer be used after July 31, 2028.
Do Not Keep Using an Expired Tank
A tank must not continue to be used after the expiration date shown on its HOST tag. If you are unsure whether your tank is registered, the tag is missing, or the date is hard to read, contact the provincial petroleum storage program or ask a local professional what information to gather.
Removal, Replacement, or Conversion
An expiry date can lead to different choices: replace the tank, remove a tank that is no longer used, or plan an oil-to-electric conversion. A quote request can help you compare the tank work involved in each route.
