If they have to take the oil out of the tank to move the tank out, why can't they put it it the new tank? That's the cheapskate side of me thinking. Believe it or not, there is some type of algae or microbacteria that eat oil. And over the course of time it helps form that sludge that settles in the bottom of the tank. So, putting that oil in the new tank would just be innoculating the new equipment with a healthy dose. If I had an old mercedes, Id just burn it myself 'cause that tank would already be f'd up. It will take years for a new batch to brew up a new colony using freshly distilled products. I figure if Mom lives there 10 or 15 more years, the tank will stay cleaner that way and in the end, the bank will probably get the estate anyway and it wont be my problem. I get to keep a cleaner concience (sp) turning it over to a new owner in the end. thats about it. |
