Nothing to do with me, just interested in a topic that I overheard=20 recently due to the costs - just over 100 litres were allegedly=20 "lost" due to damage to pipework over a period of a month or so, but a=20 claim has gone in for over =A330,000 for damages (!)
Apparently the owner is claiming for damage to the fabric of the=20 building (the bulk of the cost I believe) amongst other things, but=20 sounds on the high side to me...
How far away are these tanks normally from habitable buildings ?
Does it evaporate, or would it pool and need to be pumped away ?
Would the ground be classed as contaminated, and have to be removed=20 for specialist disposal ?
As a sideline question to the above, the damage happened while it was=20 pi$$ing down in the height of summer last year - how long would it=20 normally take to use ~100 litres of it for heating in crap weather ?
