[Shop-talk] Replacing an inground oil tank

The fracking politicians and fracking news media will keep the fracking issue stirred up until fracking natural gas prices get too fracking high.  But I grew up in oil country and they've been fracking for an awful long time without any problems until somebody decided to try to get rich from the drilling companies.

Also back in those days my dad ran his SHOP (there, it's on topic) pickup on butane.  And of course lots of vehicles run on LNG.  And our farmer friends in west Texas run their big diesel engines for their water pumps on standard natural gas.  (All I know is that they modify the heads and add spark plugs.)
