I'm not an Ohio lawyer, nevertheless the general rule is that a homeowner has a obligation to disclose hazards to a purchaser which are not readily visible. On the other hand, it seems to me if anyone takes a flashlight and looks around the crawlspace, the oil tank is in plain sight. It's a good question and I don't think you should rely on internet advice for an answer; there's too much at risk.

Good luck
