I highly recommend it be done prior to closing, by the seller.

Good luck!

KBInspection -- I understand you may have a number of reputable vendors to recommend to abandon u/g oil tank. My email address is dirkgently_us@yahoo.com and I live in Nassau County.

I had my underground tank replaced a new fiberglass tank underground. Be careful. They push the above ground because its easier, and they'll install it by windows and electrical etc...and that it against code.
