Question about old heating oil tank
My heating oil tank is pretty old, and is located in my basement. I have no idea how much rust might be inside it. Is there any way to gauge it's structural integrity and approximate remaining lifespan? And should it spring a leak one day, is there any trick for quickly patching an oil leak just until a new tank can be installed? They say that with leaky automobile gas tanks, you can rub a bar of soap into the hole and it would hold for a while, would that work? - Logic316 "Science is not a sacred cow. Science is a horse.
