[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 738630, member: 323322"] Two thoughts: One: Oil floats on water, so if you get any water ingress either rising from the foundation/ground or whatever other means, it'll get trapped under the oil Two: Dry Sand is likely to be hygroscopic and may absorb water from the foundation/ground Personally, I think leaving it void isn't going to be a problem, subject to capping the top of the pole - and there isn't much wrong with your temporary method: I do the same on my oil tank filler! Edit: Just seen CH's reply - like the foam idea :-thumb1 [/QUOTE]
