Removal of LPG Bulk Tank

Options
My dad installed an LPG tank approx 13 years ago. He was using it to fuel his car. 

He passed away and my mum has an electric car so doesn’t need/ want the tank. 

We want it removed but have no idea where to start. We can’t find any information on the tank and I think he may have even bought it off eBay. Can’t be 100% sure. 

He purchased from AutoGas but have called them and they said they can’t help.

Any suggestions? 

Many Thanks

    How big is the tank and is it empty?

    If it is empty, then you may find a local scrap yard will take it away for the scrap value.
  • I can’t be 100% sure it’s empty.. possible close to empty. It’s about 5ft x 6ft

    Hello, when people ask how big is the tank they mean its capacity.
    So please  look at the data plate and it will give the capacity in terms of litres of water.

    Common sizes are 1410 or 2200.

    There will be a guage for you to read to see how much gas is in the tank, it will read in %.

    Do you have the test certificates for the tank? That is proof that you own the tank rather than an LPG company you see.
