if I switch from an oil fired boiler to natural gas, what do I do with the
fuel oil that is still in the tank in the cellar? Thanks.

Sell it on CL.

Yeah, great. I can see it now... Some white trash redneck garbage
picker with a few open plastic 5 gallon pails will spill half of it on
the floor getting it out of the tanks and half of what's left carrying
it up out of the basement.

If you advertise cheap/free oil on CL, you're not going to attract
professionals to remove the old oil.

It's actually done a lot and is about the best way to get rid of it
without spending a lot of money. You may even get paid a little for
the oil.

If you call "professionals", you are going to be unpleasantly
surprised at what they tell you.

What would be the big surprise if they said "We can do it on Tuesday and
we charge $65.00 "?
