Why an oil tank is better fitted slightly elevated off the ground!

An oil tank is better fitted slightly elevated off the ground to allow for the filter to be opened and cleaned which is a standard procedure during an annual boiler service. 

This image shows how decaying leaves are causing the tank filter and fittings to rust putting the tank at a higher risk of leaking.
