Most homes built before 1975 used an underground tank to store heating oil. These bare steel tanks have been slowly corroding underground many years beyond their 15 to 20 year life expectancy. 88% of all underground oil tanks have leaked, requiring cleanup of contaminated soil and/or groundwater. 12% have leaked so significantly that fuel oil is measured floating on top of the water table. Up to 4 feet of fuel has been measured floating on the water table at a domestic property in the Wilmington area.
