I would absolutely not have anything to do with taking the tak apart
in an enclosed space. It undoubtedly has old oil and/or vapors in it
and either a torch or a saw could set it off very easilly. Wrong way to get rid
of it as remainder of home could be endangered as it
left too quickly.

Claudia . that would be a 275 gallon oil tank and it is probably
covered with surface rust. it should stand on four screw in legs made
of pipe. . do you have a outside entrance to your cellar / basement?.
it would take two good men with old clothes to take that out thru a
cellar way.

What is the safest way of removing this tank? It's either some kind of hard
metal or steel construction!
