If there's no oil tank in the basement, then this is an underground oil tank.

Disclose it.....

My thought is an UST...

IMHO, it looks like those pipes served an inside oil tank that has been removed when the conversion to gas happened. The vent pipe clearly goes in through the foundation. Also, the pipes seem to close to the wall to serve an outdoor tank.

Did you have a chance to view the foundation at the interior for signs the pipes had been cut-off and /or the holes plugged with mortar?

Brian,

It could have been but that looks like a T and not a 90.

Anyway, I'll let the purchaser worry about it.

Thanks!
