Boyle Excavating Inc. has preformed many fuel tank removals and environmental spill cleanups, and has working closely with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

 

Many older homes have under ground fuel oil storage tanks for their furnace, which may be leaking, and you don’t even know it. Picture #1 shows a 1000-gallon under ground fuel oil tank that was discovered when the owner decided to drill a new well.

 

Picture #2 shows the tank after removal.

 

Picture #3 shows the rusted holes in the tank causing fuel oil to leak from the tank.

 

The owner of the next gas tank thought that someone was steeling the gas but in fact the gas was leaking into the ground. Picture #1 is of the fill line that was rusted off from the top of the tank. (You can see a piece of the tank still attached to the fill piping that matched the hole in the top of the tank).

 

Picture #2 is of the tank and the hole where the fill piping should be.
