Well, I have a tank in my yard that had 500 gallons of fuel oil in it in 1974 and I never did anything about it. It's in hard, impermeable clay and hardpan so any leaks wouldn't spread far (and I would smell them in my basement anyway, which I haven't). The heating oil is probably full of strange growths now and would need to be reprocessed to be used for anything, but it could probably be burned in a kerosene heater with a wick. Yes, I know this is an idiotic and irresponsible situation. I kept the oil because it was the middle of the Arab embargo and I thought it might be possible to use it to run a Peugeot diesel that I owned, if I had to. I do not mention its existence to anyone and try not to think about it myself.
