    I agree as stated in report Ponding, water accumulation, does not slope to drain, flashings to be repaired and repalced as required. New homeowner not happy since new roof was thrown in and paid by seller as part of deal.

    usually to avoid any issues and get the best possible efficiency nozzle should be replaced yearly. when one has a yearly service and maintenance contract this is usually done during the yearly service and inspection as wellas verfying filters and tune up of the burner.

    except for the fact it may freeze.. is about it need to mention in report make sure there is no trip hazard over the pipe where it exits past deck as uit runs along ground. One couls always give it more slope and lei ti go underground at some point

    Sometimes the Oil Line comes in under the slab and not thru the wall Look at slab floor for signs of patching on the inside of th wall facing th oil tank. or near where the furnace is or used to be.. somewhere in the vicinity of the chimney too maybe.

    Here in my neck of the country Old underground fuel tanks were very common installed between 1930 - 1970 True 2nd pic looks like the top of a well. Usually the vent pipe is further away from the fill pipe and sometimes secured to the exterior wall of the house.
