And has anyone had their oil company use "TANK GUARD"? They do that automatically to the tank at my house and it does fairly good warren tee if your tanks leak. --73.126.xx.xxx

--71.58.xxx.xxx

I'd be checking to see what it cost to turn the whole how to electric. In your area that may not make sense due to your colder climate --172.59.xxx.xxx

This is why I DIY everything I can. Tank is $1,000+/-. --24.152.xxx.xx

I guarantee they have tank patch too. Get busy online and figure out a solution. These HVAC guys love big bills. --24.152.xxx.xx

Where are you located? My heating guy would be happy with half that --74.77.xx.xx

And I have 2 tanks you can have if Ken’s guy wants to put them in for you. --174.240.xxx.xx

It's in Kinderhook,.but would that include deposing of the old tank? --96.236.xxx.xx

Scrap guys would remove that --24.152.xxx.xx

Most scrappers won't take the chance of being on the open road with an old oil tank. Thus the high prices. I will say that we have a very small HVAC company and we don't charge that much. --64.246.xxx.xx

I couldn’t imagine living under that. --24.152.xxx.xx

NE, if KH gets in, coming to a neighborhood near you (no matter how remote). --64.246.xxx.xx

Another Hugh concern,..if there is a major leak or a long time leak, You might spend more than the property is worth having to remedy it by EPA requirements,.. --73.126.xx.xxx

I am in the Albany area, i will ask my guy if he is interested in the job. he has put in lots of heating systems for me,insured,guys on the books etc.We are partners on rentals also. --74.77.xx.xx

He can get rid of the old tank, that is not a big deal. --74.77.xx.xx

Hollis, if I had a long term oil tank leaking in one of my properties, it would be remedied quietly on my own. Why do landlords feel it necessary to constantly rat themselves out? --24.152.xxx.xx

NE- when was the last time you even got a building permit?I just completed a major rehab and am doing one currently, no permits,no nothing.You can learn a lot about someone by figuring out how compliant they are with govt mandates --74.77.xx.xx

About 8 years and that’s just because it was a huge addition on my own house. Tough to hide that one. --24.152.xxx.xx

They check it as part of the early service of the boiler, if a leak is found they have to report by law. --73.126.xx.xxx

If it has not already been reported as a leaker, I'd still rent the backhoe and DIY. I have some rural properties...put that fuel tank on top of a bonfire to clean all the residual, then to the scrap yard. --74.222.xx.xxx

Hollis, you need a new plumber. --24.152.xxx.xx

gevans, Unfortunately, up here in the Northeast, even "cold climate" heat pumps won't be able to keep up on the days it goes below 10-20 degrees F. And your electric bill will triple. --64.246.xxx.xx

Welcome to BLUE country! --64.246.xxx.xx

Here in BLUE country a bunch of Underwater Basket Weaving degreed females and beta males whose hands have never gotten dirty other than an occasional peanut butter/cracker spill on their keyboards sit around making up the rules with "good intensions" for everyone else who actually works. --64.246.xxx.xx

Mapleleaf, you might need a new plumber too. --24.152.xxx.xx

My friend is not interested in going that far right now --74.77.xx.xx

Thank you for trying Ken, its much appreciated,..I guess I will have to bite the bullet. It's just that I just paid for a sewer pipe that required the floor of the basement apt ripped up and repaired plus about 100 feet of it under the driveway to a tune of 18 K At least they are going to allow payment monthly, and it rents cover that and more so I will be able to pay it off fairly soon. --73.126.xx.xxx

--71.58.xxx.xxx

The oil in the tank as waste is a joke,it is perfectly good oil,my dad and i used to get oil like that to heat my parents house,roughly 600 gallons a year for about 8 years and haul it home in a pickup --74.77.xx.xx

I can see where that will shift back again when the rates get adjusted to the correct level. What I hear here, is that time is coming sooner than some expect --24.101.xxx.xxx
