Ain't gonna be no fair price. They got you over a barrel. Either you pay their exorbitant price to buy the tank, or you pay the $1500 to dig it out, or you continue buying their gas.

Bad wording, you're right. I wasn't even thinking theirs would be fair. I guess, I'd love to know how far from "fair" they are :) They want $5000 for the 4y.o. 1000 gallon LPG tank. Anyone knows how much installing a new
1000-gallon buried tank may cost?------------------------------------- /\_/\ ((@v@)) NIGHT ():::() OWL VV-VV

| i own my 500 gallon buried tank. i get a quote from 5 different places | before filling it about once/year. some didn't have any inspection before | first delivery, some did. none have asked to reinspect.
For the ones that did an inspection, was it of the tank only or did they go through your house and check all the appliances and piping?

it's an underground tank, so no, they didn't see any of the tank except what's under the part of the riser that's aboveground.
they put gauges on the tank and on the line, testing that there were no leaks in either the tank feed to the house, or in the house lines (once all the pilots were off). they also used a lot of soapy water on the line that penetrated the tank and the guage.
since there were no leaks on any line or appliance, except a small one in the fill gauge itself, i don't know what they would have done if there were.

The best answer to that question will come from your local gas dealers. You'll have to get an estimate from them for installing a tank that you will purchase from them and they will install after they remove the existing tank and place it where in can be picked up by it's owner.
That's the only way you will get information accurate enough to make an informed decision.

I really like that idea. Tell them if they want it they can come and take it and the new company just puts in a new tank. That should give you some leverage over the old company.
