- I have an unused heating oil tank in my basement. The previous owners converted to natural gas. It's in the way of a 16' woodworking bench I want to build, but a friend says it'd be a decent enough s

- Does it have oil in it? We converted to gas about 7 or 8 years ago. Our tank has been sitting with close to a 100 gals of oil in it. We never got around to draining and disposing of the tank until ab

- No, but the...I don't know what you call it...the boiler? It's still the oil burning unit, only the burner part has been swapped out. SO converting back would only necessitate a new burner, not boile

- Jim, first off, I was a realtor in Hunterdon Co, NJ for a little while. I can tell you that no one ever thought that an unused oil tank was a "plus". In fact, one of my clients tried to back out of a

- The guage says 3/4 full; the knock test says very empty. I suppose I could open the valve, but if is was corroded and didn't shut...well... I don't have enough duct tape for that. Is there a "dry-gas

- Think of it as a tanning lamp. Amazingly so, considering that it appears to be completely clear. It will let a little of the longest wavelength UV through, but is almost completely opaque to the sho
