Propane

2.20 both times they came to fill it this winter and they own the tank. I ran into problems getting house insurance because my tank is in the ground.

Why did you have trouble getting house insurance, with the tank underground ? I know my provider was talking a year ago, or so, about putting my tank underground. I dont want that to happen, if im going to get dropped by my insurance company, its hard enough to find a home owners insurance company on the cape, as it is.

I am pretty sure they are not allowed to bury propane tanks! Oil tanks years ago yes....but not anymore! Never heard of propane tanks underground....thats why you always see them fenced in and visible.

My propane tank is underground. If propane leaks out it does not go into the ground like oil would...evaporates off. There are some rules about how close it is to the house I think though.

nope- if i wanted i could bury a 1000 gallon tank behind my studio. Its actually safer because a truck cant slam into it.
