sorry to hijack but this is kinda related, u bond all incoming services correct, even oil. what if the oil tank is inside the house

oil tank inside the house? is that not againt building regs? and what sort of house is that?

maybe in an 'outhouse' as part of the house (access only from outside, but its still inside the main building)?

I've seen oil tanks inside houses,,,

the last one was in a "mansion" type place,,, 158 rooms including cellar rooms.. the tanks (4 of them) were in the cellar.

BTW the electrics were shocking (no pun intended)

andy c. when u say bonding do u mean equipotential like the other services, or supplimentry like other extrenuous conductive parts.

the continuity is that with wander lead between pipe and and met.

it gets a bit much all this bonding, i mean the oil pipe enters the boiler were it will be earthed back through the plug, ringmain cpc back to the bord, so why the need for more, unless of course its main equpotential and in need of 10mm
