Re: Toxicity and Envorinmental dangers

From experience in cleaning such tanks in my younger years, ill say that the valve side of those tanks are the heaviest. They will flip and spill if the water gets high enough. I experienced the same with fuel oil tanks in Shady Side Maryland after Hurricane Isabel. Completely coated everything in fuel oil. Houses where tworn down due to fire hazard after being soaked for a week in water with a 3 inch layer of fuel oil on top.
