For failure to meet codes? Which would have prevented contamination
from the leak... (Think dual-wall tanks.)

Why would you assume that the tank he had, didn't meet codes? There is no
code where I live, requiring me to replace my existing tank with any special
type. Over time, if it's left in the ground, it too will become porous.

because they should maintain it so it doesn't leak. Old ones should be
replaced by bunded tanks (twin wall).

You use the word "should" as though you are the authority. I'm sure every
state,city, county, and town have their own rules, and it seems that Stan's
neighbor could have been in compliance, in his jurisdiction, when the leak
occured. He certainly didn't indicate that he wasn't
