This question just arose with the mother of a freind. My freind contracted
with a firm that surveys oil tanks. All the oil was pumped into a truck, the
tank cleaned and sonic inspected. The fuel was then filtered, water
seperated and returned to the tank. All this for $400. Compare that cost
with the consequences of a leak and your course of action is clear.

The tank for my oil heat furnace is going on 60 years old. I'm
beginning to worry about internal rust doing it in. I guess it would
start as a drip but it's where it can go for weeks without being
observed. It could be a mess and stink forever. Short of getting a new
tank, is there anything I should do?
