Then you have to have it "re abandoned" They will have to dig up ground, and verify....BIG BUCKS!
Ok but like let's say that the location cannot be identified and you play dumb like "what is an underground tank" or something like that. The house I grew up in was converted to gas in the 60's and there was no record of the tank either way.
Ask the seller to remove the oil tank. 50% of abandoned oil tank (even if certified) continues to leak and you, as the new owner, will inherit the clean-up cost. Check to see that the foundation of the house is not affected by any potential leakage; ask the sellers if they'd done any foundation work/repair - they are legally obliged to disclose them to you esp. if you ask explicitly. Also, mortgage lenders + home insurers might give you a hard time with a buried oil tank (in use or abandoned).

I know of someone who's underground tank leaked. Long story short, 100k++++++ between fines & clean up from the EPA
