That's Really intelligent advice! I hope most on this board are smart enough to ignore it.

"So I have some rather obvious advice. Don't even check your local ordinance for environmental nonsense. Go out there tomorrow with a hack saw, and cut off the fill pipe about a foot below grade. Find the feed lines into the house and cut them off about a foot from the house wall. Remove every vestige of there ever having been an oil heat system. You no doubt have some oil stains on your basement floor. Go paint over them. Create 20 year-old, false invoices from a fictitious contractor who you paid to remove the tank that never existed. Just in case."

CREATE 20 YEAR-OLD FALSE INVOICES? I hope you're kidding. Having recently retired from 31 years of practicing environmental law, I can tell you the potential liability from your suggested approach is FAR greater than just spending the $500 to get a survey done. There may be serious doubts about the effectiveness of the Leaking Underground Storage Tank program (one of my favorite govt acronyms), but don't make your situation worse by doing something really stupid. At least don't advise other people to do so.
