Propane Tank at the property we have under contract

[Jennifer Soelberg]

We have a property under contract and the inspection came back with the implication that the propane tank is too close to the shop and property line (supposed to be at least 10' from each). The house was built in 1960, so when it was put it, there were probably not rules against it. It is a 500 gallon tank that was most likely used primarily for the shop in the past. We are thinking about changing the heat from the propane to electric. We got a bid to do that for about $5,000. Has anyone run into this problem? Any suggestions?
