Default Question about old heating oil tank

So you wouldn't have a problem with buying a home from someone like you.


I would answer all questions honestly. If a buyer asks me how old the boiler
and the oil tank is, I would tell him. If he wants to know how much fuel it
uses, I would show him my oil bills (I have all the receipts going back 7
years). Like I said, if you buy an old car from somebody, even though he
should point out any known defects, it's still your job to ask all the right
questions and look it over carefully (or insist that an expert examine it),
but to still expect the possibility that something might go wrong sooner
than if you bought it brand new. If you have a problem with that, then maybe
they should just make it illegal for anybody to ever sell anything in used
condition?


Personally, I would also have to ask.. whatelse in the house have you
screwed with that is gonna give me a problem.


I'm not sure what you mean. I haven't touched the oil tank, except once just
to clean out the whistle.
