Buried Fuel Oil Tank Found on Gastonia Home Inspection

Suck out any remaining oil, fill it with cat litter, add some oil eating, bacteria, and unscrew those pipes. If ye are ambitions, you can dig down to the top of the tank, and put some plugs in the holes. Eventually the tank will rust away to nothing, the oil will be eaten by the bacteria, and that is that.

After the millions of gallons of oil BP spilled in out Gulf, who would even care about a few gallons of oil in a old tank anyway.

Uh Oh....I just found an old tank on my land....any more details on how I can deal with this without a lot of expense would be great. Oil eating bacteria? Where do you get those critters?
