Default Oil Tank lifespan?

Different areas mean different prices, but we will install a new tank (and
haul away the old one) for $900. HOWEVER! That means an above ground tank
(or one in a basement).


Replacing tanks on a calendar basis seems like overkill to me. There are
methods of testing tanks with ultrasound with no disruption of anything. I
can see after say, 25 years, you need a checkup every 3 or 5 years to assure
no corrosion.
