  • A typical gasoline station has a storage capacity of 30,000 to 40,000 gallons in underground tanks. In the past, these tanks were sometimes subject to spills from overfilling and to leaks caused by corrosion. Today, station owners have taken several important steps to reduce these risks.

    Once you learn more about the world around you and everyday things in your environment you've currently taken advantage of and pay no mind to, (be it man-made or natural) you start to appreciate things a lot more and really marvel at what you have in front of you. From gas station engineering to how a Venus Flytrap plant works. We live in an amazing world and I wish more people would appreciate it.

    One time I was going to fill up at a Royal Farms. There was a massive gas leak a few pumps to my right and I didn't notice till a few managers and one oil company manager all crowded around me and gave me the news. They said none of the pumps were gonna work at the moment but welcomed me to wait. Unfortunately, what I didn't realize was that my increased intake of potent Cannabis that day really boggled my mind and I didn't notice till I attempted to engage in conversation. Soon, I said my goodbyes and decided to go to the local Wawa instead. 2 minuets prior to all of this, I decided to put all of my Cannabis and accessories in closed environments. Holy hell man, what a day that was.

    I used to work at an old full serve station built in 1920. Tanks from the 80's . And the tanks were allowed to leak a cert en amount ( 1 gallon per2500 gallon per week ) its located where most of us have well water and it is less then a mile from the cape cpd bay ....

      not in my aeira our local wells are as shallow as 140 ft but can reach 1200+ . The air Force base has leaked jet fuel and contaminated hundreds of wells in less than 75 years. the ammount of time it takes for ground water to mover can varry greatly, where i reside is essentially a 60 mile long sand bar deposited by a glacier, allowing ground water to move quite freely
