Basement Contractor Breaks Oil Line! 

Thank you!

Not required here, unless the lines go in or through the concrete, or under the ground.

I get it. We have uncoated/buried oil lines that have been in service for 80+ years and will probably be leak free for another 80.

@@valenzaplumbing What has changed is the makeup of the fuel. It now is quite aggressive and the oil lines that were installed in the 50’s through the 70’s all started to fail-- think 275 gallons into the ground under the house. So if you do any work in the Northeast part of the country, please check your state code.

@@JTTTTx I would never bury any new oil line. Merely stating that the ones that are currently underground are still going strong, with no coating. We don’t have to use coated lines unless it goes through the concrete wall etc.
