There are some severe horror stories with leaky tanks that really do require expensive remediation. For example, we had a local case where the the homeowner poured paint thinner and other solvents into a home fuel tank that was leaking over a period of decades.

"Its called misallocation of resources." One of the prices to be paid for long periods of prosperity. It used to be that we would have mild recessions that would correct these economic imbalances. Now no one wants to pay the political price that a recession causes.

"I hope I didn't seem to deceitful in my previous post." "Create 20 year-old, false invoices from a fictitious contractor" "Then you can stretch the truth a little to avoid a ding to your conscience if not allegations of fraud. If you were asked to testify that there was no tank, there wouldn't be a problem. After all, a tank w/o a fill pipe isn't a tank." --- Not too deceitful? - Perhaps. Deceitful advice nonetheless.
