    Can a new oil tank install be DIYed?

    Hi. Asking for a relative whose neighbour seemingly DIYed an oil tank replacement. She was aware of 'oil' smells at regular times in the weeks following this, although that has since died down. Is there a way of checking whether the installation was registered, a bit like boiler installs? Thanks.
