Fact<\/strong>: This is a baseless assumption. There is no truth in it. The oil tanks wear down over time for many reasons. For example, if the tank is made of iron or used as a manufacturing ingredient, the tank becomes prone to corrosion that creates holes in the tank and cause leakage.<\/p>\n Inspections For Oil Tanks Are Unnecessary And Waste of Money Only<\/strong><\/p>\n Fact<\/strong>: Section 4.10.3.1 of BC Fire code talks about oil tank removal and says an oil tank should be removed if that has not been used for 2 years or more. An interesting fact is, most people don\u2019t know if there is an oil tank installed underground on their property. Until the gas based furnaces became popular, people would use oil based furnaces in their houses, and they would install oil tankers underground. So, most properties have these oil tanks in their houses. Inspecting the property will let you know if there is an oil tank underground or not. If there is, you should have it removed and become a law-abiding citizen.<\/p>\n Abandoned Oil Tank Removal Is Pointless <\/strong><\/p>\n You cannot afford to have oil tanks in your home because they are prone to leakage, fire, and explode.

So, believing this misconception can be life-threatening.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t believe anything that you hear about oil tank removal from people.
