It may not collapse, but it is not advisable to run any kind of equipment on top of it.
I wouldn't take the chance.
It depends on how deep your tank is buried, but I wouldn't chance it.
yes it might
Seen this happen many years ago. They had to get a wrecker to pull it out . It was a small dump truck loaded with sand.
We were told that our new septic system would not tolerate any weight....even tree planting was taboo
At the very least, a vehicle will compact the soil and push it down, and damage the tank. Best to put something lightweight on that spot like a little bit of edging so nobody can park there.
Yes, the lid will break and/or sink in and you will have a horrible smell until it is fixed.
Yes it will I wouldn'tdo it at all.
Absolutely!
My husband worked at an Inn, we frequently had to tell customers not to park their cars on a certain grassy area, because the septic tank was there. A few of them were surprised when they got a bill in the mail because they cracked the cover to the septic tank.
