Our 500 gal, above ground in unimproved celler is
showing sings of it over 40 years age, so we our
planning replaceing it before it leaks and fouls
up our open dirt celler floor ( as happened in an
other home 60 years ago 8-(.

We have had a estimate of $700.00 to pump out existing
fuel, remove questionable tank and refill the tank
in metro Boston,MA

Go for it!

We charge $600 to swap out a 275 tank (and we are cheap!), so if you are
getting a 500 for that price, I'd do it.......
