Ill do some looking around. The driveway is on that side, and concrete was poured all the way up to the edge of the foundation. The driveway I know is old as dirt. At least 50 or 60 years old if not more. The vent line and fill line for the tank in the basement comes out of the side of the foundation on that side.
I would play stupid on the hole if you are looking to sell. I would fill it back up with a concrete patch and repaint the wall. I don't see anyone digging up your concrete to see if there is a tank. I bet if it wasn't removed then it was probably split open and filled with dirt.
Hopefully your concrete above is nice and level, to reinforce the notion that the buried tank was addressed sometime in the past.
When I dug my tank out it was put in the bottom of dump truck along with other debris from the construct site. You don't want any inspector thinking the soil might be contaminated. The contractor took it back to his business and later sold it as scrap metal.
