Stone and Sand Tank Fill Services by C2G
When removing an oil tank isn’t feasible due to its location or structural limitations, oil tank abandonment in place is a safe and legal alternative.

Our highly-trained technicians provide peace of mind by ensuring that your property is protected, documented, and environmentally sound.
What Is Oil Tank Abandonment?
Oil tank abandonment is the process of safely decommissioning an unused oil tank without removing it from the ground. This is often necessary when the tank is located beneath a structure, deck, garage, or other area that cannot be disturbed. The tank is uncovered, cleaned, tested, and filled with an inert material like sand or stone.
Our Abandonment Process
C2G follows a precise, code-compliant process to ensure long-term safety:
- On-site tank inspection and access assessment
- Pumping and cleaning of remaining fuel and sludge
- Onsite oil screening
- Filing of required permits and notices with local authorities
- Filling the tank with stone or sand based on site conditions
- Soil sampling (if needed)
- Final report and certificate of abandonment
When to Consider Abandonment
- Tank not accessible to machinery
- Tank is located under a home or structure
- Removal could compromise property integrity
- Local codes allow in-place decommissioning
- Pre-sale property inspections require documented closure
- Older homes with inaccessible USTs
Abandoning a tank properly avoids future liabilities and satisfies most insurance and real estate disclosure requirements.
