It does get confusing - there is my insurance co, the fuel supplier & his insurance co, and the epa. Each now has a say in this. And, sometimes with good reason. :) My fuel coop sent out a long list of regulations for LP tanks last year - they won't fill if it ran empty until the tank is tested & you need to be there for the test, they won't fill tanks on wheels, they need the building setback, proper ports & no goofiness, tanks need to be inspected every so often - heck, I don't even have LP & I got the letter! :) They implied, both in writing & at coop meeting, that similar restrictions are coming to bulk fuel tanks - sooner rather than later. They said it is both EPA & their insurance co, if they fill something out of compliance, will cost them $$$$. Now, some of my friends are having no problem at all getting mobile LP tanks filled, or empty ones, and haven't heard anything about bulk fuel tank issues either. But, I think it is coming.... As long as the guy is starting out, he might as well at least get the setback from buildings, oh yea, a WELL is a real big problem if you are too close, my county would come after you for that! Things like that to watch out for. As someone else said, and fuel spills, you'll need to clean up when you sell the property. MN just passed a law that you are responsible for any hidden problems when you sell property - no more 'as is, where is'. Insurance & liability laws will be the ruin of this country, but that's another issue.... --->Paul
