I have two oil tanks in my basement for my oil furnace

How many do you have? How many do you know most people have? I’ve only ever known of one or two.

There’s no point in having more than one. My neighbors tank ruptured and they were out of their home for over two months.

@Vin53 it’s what my house came with. I think it’s good to have two. It’s cheaper than more you buy

@Jonjdw it would have to be significantly cheaper. If the price drops

@Vin53 well, I’m not sure it depends on where you order from. But it’s already installed in my house. And if one were to rupture at one, I could just turn off the one and use the other. Don’t know how one would rupture.

@Jonjdw my neighbors previous owner had a serious fire that might’ve damaged their oil tank.

@Vin53 OK maybe because I’ve lived here for 20 years. And I think the oil tanks were put in in 1992. No issues.
