But that just brings us back to my original question. How exactly do *I*
tell if my oil tank is on it's last legs? Otherwise, any reasonable
homeowner must assume that if it's not leaking, then it's still good, no

You might be able to use an ultrasonic thickness meter. �I am not sure
how thick the metal is on an oil tank. �The meters I found on ebay
have a lower limit of about 1 mm. �So if the tanks are made of 11
gauge steel, they would work fairly well.

ahh the perspective homeowner wouldnt be able to get homeowners
insurance if the tank is over 20 years old........

other issues that make homeowners insurane tough to impossible to get.

fuse boxes, cracked ior boken / uneven sidewalks, bad roof, poor
overall condition K&T wiring.

The list is very long, and the buyters market will only make it
worse...

if the home has issuesa a big price cut is coming, beyond the national
25% drop.

tough time to sell
