You continue to amaze me with your cheapness and stupidity.
Its obvious your tank is old and an accident waiting to happen.
Why not do it now before you tank leaks/busts/ruptures? You obviously
will do it yourself since you seem to know everything. How hard is it
to go buy a tank with the screw on legs, get a buddy and a dolly and a
12 pack and put a new one in place? Make sure you put a bottom drain
with shut-off to periodically drain off the bottom contents to remove
water and sediment. Put the whole tank in a pan. Convert it to a two
pipe change your filter and nozzle and you are good to go.
With the excess oil you burn being a tightass tuning your own boiler,
surely you wont mind spending a few hundred bucks to change out your
tank.

I know I'm feeding a troll here, but what if somebody's in a situation
where he's planning to sell the house soon anyway?
Didn't think of that, did you?

Actually a new tank is a selling feature, you hype the brand new tank rather
than trying to hide an old tank. A property inspection may find the old tank
and would probably cause the buyer to offer a lower price because he will
find out that he will need to replace it.
