Thanks all for your ideas and suggestions. I'm on the East coast where
permits, testing, etc. are required for underground tank removal and no one
even dreams about taking tanks out on their own.


In my state (VA), a homeowner can remove an underground oil tank on
their own. A permit is required. A visual inspection is required. A
soil test is -not- required.

If you call a professional, all of the above is required plus a soil
test.

Since what you don't know probably isn't going to hurt you, there is
some incentive to DIY.
