Moose,

I haven't seen anybody address filling in the old tank.

It's been over 25 years since I've had to deal with that 
problem.  But the house
I was in before this one, had an in ground tank.  When I was trying to buy the
house, the owner (a freind) and I filled the existing tank with sand, 
so the ground
wouldn't cave in, and then installed a new above ground tank 
basically over top
the the old one.
