This is one of our recent tank removal jobs. There was nothing extreme about this job. The homeowner decided to covert to gas.
Given this extra space for comment, I would like to recommend that anyone with an oil tank take time to check the legs on the tank. Since the legs are in contact with the ground, where water sometimes collects in basement, they can often rust. When the weight of a full tank of oil is sitting on a rusted out leg, the potential for an emergency greatly increases.
