[quote=Anonymous]We never had an oil smell in our basement after our oil furnace was removed. There are lines which run from where the furnace was to where the tank was; perhaps there's still some oil in those which is leaking? You may want to have a company which services oil furnaces come out before you assume that it's the actual tank. As for oil tank remediation, some people have theirs removed, others have them filled in and "abandoned in place"; it usually depends on the location of the tank. For underneath a porch, they would likely just abandon in place. We used someone from a list of state-approved removers. It looks like DC has the same type of information: http://green.dc.gov/publication/certified-ust-contractors-installers-removers-and-testers I'd recommend getting a few estimates; the cost and types of materials used to fill the tank can vary.
