LEAKING RESIDENTIAL OIL TANK REPLACED

The best part about your channel is the intro, letting us know what is going on before you head out. love that part. Instead of selling us something or plugging a product you give the viewers context. Awesome channel I wish you nothing but the best

it’s somewhat impressive how much that cover quiets down the noise coming from the burner.

[@scottk0623]

I have PREACHED to EVERY apprentice I have had DON’T-REMOVE THE PIPE UNLESS YOU THREAD IT!!! I see journey men that never grasped that fact. What a wasted step to remove it with no thread. Nice job Steve . I’ll get off my soap box.

Geez, it looks like so much oil when in those pails! What do you think of Roth tanks? I installed one in my house, stand up like a fridge! Got it from a guy converting to gas cheap and only a few yrs. old. I like how the fittings are all on top, I have single line with a Tiger Loop.

At the bottom of the old tank those are called fuel bugs. Not really bugs but gelatin type of substance.

I've never seen that done before. I'm obviously not a plumber lol. Thanks steve always enjoy your videos.

[@frankrizzo3915]

Hay Steve. Is there any way you can stop the muck on the bottom of tank?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

THEY SAY OIL TREATMENT HELPS ..I MIGHT TRY A EXPERIMENT WITH SOME SLUDGE AND ADDITIVE TO SEE IF IT WORKS MIGHT MAKE FOR A GOOD VIDEO

[@frankrizzo3915]

I will try that.Thanks

[@chrisbeck8182]

@@stevenlavimoniere I’ve always wondered why oil tanks don’t have a sump drain. Elevate the outlet end of the tank to the filter an inch or two and install a second valve at the other end with a pipe cap for safety. All the water and schmag will settle to the far end where it can be drained off one or twice a year. I was in the middle of dinner when you scooped up that handful of muck. 🤮 Happy Birthday to Miss Molly and Happy 4th to you, Steve!

THANKS

[@russellhancock9765]

That's probably what the tank I used to have looked like inside when I had a house in Asheboro North Carolina back in 1992. My furnace would always give trouble every time they brought Me Oil. I started using propane after My Wife and I split up and got rid of the oil tank. I gave it to a guy that tried to use the tank. I told Him that it was full of rust and shit, but He wanted it anyway.

[@Explore531]

I cant believe people still running furnace oil these days I remember having one back in the 70s, Happy 4th everybody and be safe

[@jblyon2]

Lots of areas around here have no natural gas service available, and propane is usually more expensive than oil since you're locked into buying it from the company that provides the tank preventing you from shopping around. With the cold climate even the most efficient heat pumps that can keep up with the cold are more expensive to run due to the sky high electric rates. Oil is the best option for many.

[@mph5896]

Natural gas is ideal, cheap, low maintenance. The issue with it is running the pipe to each and every house gets REALLY expensive.

[@jblyon2]

@@mph5896 Especially around here where you're more likely to hit a rock than soil when digging. There are a number of homes where service was run down the street after most were built. Friend bought one and had gas hooked up when the oil boiler needed replacement. Worth looking into if you have oil and need a new system.

Why do you keep asking a 90-year-old lady to come look at the bottom of the tank as if she's going to bend down and look at it.

[@64bigfish]

Hey Steve why do you wear gloves? LOL

Somewhere that's in the plumber's Bible it's one of the 10 commandments "never remove a pipe from a pipe machine unless it's threaded"
