Buried Fuel storage tanks

[Roy D. Cooke, Sr]

Most methods are way above a home Inspection.
I wonder should have a disclaimer in our contract .
Remember we are doing a visual inspection only .

Here is the kicker!
His insurance company denied the claim at first. He had to fight tooth and nail to get them to address the suit.

Just that the insurance company has seen the light (their potential loss of millions in revenue) and decided to fight the claim.

It won't be done in either of our lifetimes

Here is a BBQ Shaft that I use to check if I suspect an Underground tank .
Have found 7 over the years Please do not miss them.
This is my flash light also yellow tape every 4 inches.
I stand it up and take a picture to show depth of the insulation .
