Heating oil tank vent and fill pipes repairs
Hi Everyone
I have fixed the oil tank air/vent pipe with rubber coupling and fill/service pipe with aluminum tape and compression coupling, but I have not tested it yet by filling it with the heating oil.
Is there a code violation in this repair? And secondly, will the fix last or will this cause an oil spill?
Thank you for your feedback.

Whats the worst thing that could happen ? The first time it works , and the second time when the oil driver fills the tank something blows and you have 100 gallons of oil in a basement . That will be on you .
I drive an oil truck on occasion . I wouldnt fill if I knew that . The pumps on the truck are high volume 200 gallons in less than 10 minutes . Remember the oil company isnt responsible for your equipment .
