 I am not sure how things are in the US or individual state but here in Ontario, insurance providers are pushing clients to move from fuel oil. Premiums are higher if you have oil, tanks that were good for 20 years suddenly aren't and some insurers are saying tank replacement every 10/12 years. As I understand it the new tanks are lined so I guess they are better but expensive.
 My tank is so far good till 2019 but that could change at any time. When it is due to be changed I am sure I will change to something else but not sure what. The price of a new tank and higher premiums would likely be close to the price of a new system. Regardless what I put in "the man" will be damn sure to get more than his fair share.
