Subject: [Shop-talk] Replacing an inground oil tank

Today I woke up to one of the scariest situations a homeowner can face, an 
empty oil tank.

The reason it's scary is that the should still have been about 600gals of 
oil in there.

My, my usage has increased, but I don't know if it increased 600 gals or 
not.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any advice about new oil tanks. 
Should I go inside or outside?  What are the pros and cons?

>From what I can see, capacity max seems to be about the same (660gals with 
2X330gal tanks.)

Inside the house they can't freeze, and you don't see them, but it seems 
that a house fire would make all that extra fuel that much worst.

Outside, the tanks can freeze, and they are an eyesore, but it seems safer 
overall.

Anything I'm missing?  Anything else to consider?  Thanks.
