Cd10 is a oil installation report form

T1/133D is domestic oil tank report form

T1/133ND is non domestic oil tank report form

A search on the OFTEC website will give you a local technician to check it out if nobody on here is near or able to help.

Oil storage tanks must be maintained with proper care. Taking proper care helps in decreasing the chances of oil spilling from tanks thereby preventing pollution in environment. Spilling of oil in areas where you stay is responsible for making the drinking water from wells and ground dirty thereby polluting it and contaminating it. It is associated with outbreak of several disease and health problems in your surrounding areas. To avoid contaminating problems ad outbreak of such type of diseases, it is very necessary to maintain oil tanks properly. The tank must be well inspected in each and every season. These tanks for storing oils are made up of several factors such as tank installation, condition of oils in ground, construction of tanks and its maintenance. Ensure that you close the vent cap and fill cap tightly. The stability of the oil storage tanks and the type of ground must be kept in mind before installing it.
