Heating Oil Tank Leak Creates Liability for Former Washington Home Owner

The Washington Court of Appeals ruled that former home owner did not qualify for the state innocent landowner defense because the heating oil tank had leaked during its ownership. Defendants argued they had not intentionally or negligently caused the release but court found that their use of tank contributed or caused the release. Also rejected argument plaintiffs had assumed liability in purchase agreement. Grey v. Leach (Ct.App- 12/13/10)

  1. When your oil storage tank starts leaking, or you stop using it, it's time to call the oil tank removal experts.
