    Tell your lawyer when you go to sell hope you have some paperwork. If it was an above ground tank as you said it may not be as much of an issue. Underground leaks are the real deal.

    I DIY removed the above ground oil tank in the basement of my last house in western Mass after converting to gas. I did not get a permit from the local FD, but did bring it to the disposal yard in Chicopee and had a receipt from that. Sold the house a few years later, no issues.

    It's not like a buried tank, by me anyway, where you would need a certificate of abatement.
