Now how that all actually plays out with insurance, attorneys and courts in individual cases, and at what costs in money and time, that's the rub.There is usually an insurance policy on the tank, to cover leaks, as part of the price of the fuel, so check with the seller on that.I would certainly recommend making your deal contingent on a clean leak test (and decommissioning if that's what you choose) and have your deal effectively read such that if the test comes back with water in the tank, ie the tank has leaked, then you can walk from the deal and get your EM back.The existence of a UST, especially if in use and not leaking, in no way needs to be a required deal killer though.
