My heating oil tank is pretty old, and is located in my basement. I have
no
idea how much rust might be inside it. Is there any way to gauge it's
structural integrity and approximate remaining lifespan? And should it
spring a leak one day, is there any trick for quickly patching an oil leak
just until a new tank can be installed? They say that with leaky
automobile
gas tanks, you can rub a bar of soap into the hole and it would hold for a
while, would that work?

Dump a cup or two or very fine sawdust in it.

Oh yeah, I forgot all about my jar of fine sawdust oil coagulant, it's in my
garage right next to the box of muffler bearings and the quart of blinker
fluid.

And don't forget to put the winter air in your tires, it's
getting cold out :-)
