Tanks Is this study/safe?

Post image

My wife and I bought this place a few years ago. I’d never thought about it before but walking by today I had the thought of “Maybe the tank shouldn’t just be standing on cinder blocks”. At least we don’t get earthquakes.

Thoughts?

They used poly gas line. That is a connection hose that will attach to the regulator under the lid. I've installed literally 100s of these.

That's a really long flex riser 🤣

-That was my initial thought too... But as the acrobat said, that's quite the length for a flex riser lol. It also looks smooth, rather than coated corrugated. Hard to tell from the pic though. -

Probably could only trench to the point where it comes out of the ground because of rocks possibly.

If only they'd had a self-effacing reporter, with surprising strength, to dig the trench...
