Approx 300 pounds, depending on the specific tank.

I sell more oil tanks on Craigslist then I scrap. Try selling whole first. Even if they have a hole in it, people seam to buy them.

I've been trying to sell two I have for over a year. Not even one call. For the scrap yard to take them, they need a hole big enough to stick your head in. Probably be cutting them up next spring.

Advertise them as being useful for making large BBQ's and smokers. Or make a few yourself and sell them. Just cut them in half add hinges ,a handle and a vent.

Just start a fire in the halves to burn out any remaining oil residue before cooking on it!
