- I do not encourage anyone to enter culverts, unclog anything, or enter flooded areas as it can easily become deadly without the proper training
I unclog drains for fun in my spare time (I have been trained in culvert inspections for years with private co.) and I am osha trained.
Exploring anything abandoned can be dangerous or deadly without experience. I don't encourage anyone to enter any abandoned structures. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal, and when possible I seek out permission from the owner or local police. I simply go to document its history before it's gone forever and I leave things the way I find them. I only take pictures and only leave footprints. I assume all the risks and responsibility before doing this. Please don't attempt to do this on your own. There could be nails, asbestos, falling concrete, soft floors, animals, or other hazards. Thanks for watching.

The black streaks running down the wall are probably asphalt from the roofing that melted during the fire and dripped through to the inside.
No, it is condens sooth trickles down with it. Im working in property restoration. (Belfor)
It closed as a Chevron station around 2006-7, sat empty until 2014 or so, reopened as a Marathon station around then, went down for good a year or two later. Not sure if it burned before or after it closed down the second time but it looks like a kitchen fire. Every gas station in the south sells fried chicken and potato wedges...turn the heat the wrong way and POOF.
It also sits right north of some rougher areas and has been robbed a ton.
Where is it?
One of the units our company rented out was destroyed by a fire.
The strangest thing I saw in it was the line around the interior of the building was where the smoke and heat had filled the building from the top down to about 4 feet from the floor.
The toilet had a large plastic toilet roll holder with toilet paper inside. The heat had melted the top 4 inches of the plastic but the paper inside was in perfect condition - not even singed
The back room for wine had that black scorch at the top and walls below were still white.
That fridge 🤢
It's free probably still works
I know! I can't believe you had the guts to touch anything inside that fridge, post. 😅
Yum!
How is your comment from a month ago lol
You do a lot of culvert cleanings which are fun to watch but I do miss watching you clean street drains and flooded parking lots .
I solved that issue.
@@post.10Mass DOT?
You’re the best. With everything I can watch on TH-cam. I always come back to you driving through the woods.
@3:07 - What you see here is a junction box of intrinsically safe, potted steel conduits that facilitate the wiring to control the dispensers, underground pumps, tank sensors, leak detectors and other island equipment from the outdoor locations to inside the store. These conduits (after all the wires are run) are filled very tightly with glass cotton wool (making sure to stuff the wool between each conductor vs potting around a bundle of wires.) then a grout-like potting material is poured in the conduits essentially sealing them from any intrusions of fuel vapors , smoke or fire. Once the potting is solid, it takes a screw driver and a hammer to breach it.
4:51 that Turkey Hill iced tea is from Lancaster PA we made that in conestoga that town plus we used to make the wagon for the Oregon Trails were called conestoga wagon. My county even have a flag and a wagon is part of it.
The Turkey Hill Experience! My wife works in Etown. We're very close.
@@TechGorilla1987 heck I can even walk three miles to the experience from my parents home.
@@TechGorilla1987Ephrata here!
@@MrGgffggffggffwe visited Ephrata Cloister from NC
We get Turkey Hill in ice cream in NC😁
Wow! That looks a lot like an old truck stop we still have here in Bainbridge Ga. It's for truckers who want to stop and rest, take showers, eat and maybe drink a beer and chill out for a few before they get back on the road. It's a store, restaurant and it's got an area for pool tables , tables to chill at and watch TV. Cool find. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and God bless 🥰
@9:59 - Those covers used to be made of cast aluminum, but in more recent years, they have been made of a high-density plastic material. Some of the holes you see may be for product drops but others can hold other sensors or probes that monitor the tanks. Any connection that we made in those ground spots were also wire nutted and then the entire connection was slid in to a fast-setting epoxy resin bag. That's what made the connections intrinsically safe.
The smaller ones are OPW spill buckets and they still use aluminum lids in our area. The larger stp sump lids are definitely composite though on newer sites. This station definitely feels like a 80s/90s built store with where the breakers/conduits are on the back wall vs the newer comm conduits run on the front wall near where the register should be. Also looked like the fire started in the breaker room.
@@iamelcapitan Indeed. I still have a bunch of polo shirts with OPW logos on them. Veeder Root too. I was in the business for many years. I didn't start installing POS systems till about 05 or so though. Our company built entire stations from the ground up in the PA area. I'll bet the STP sumps in this station lack the secondary containment that the new stations have. In the STP sumps are usually secondary plastic sumps with gaskets and lids bolted on with black plastic nuts. Old school was just a gravel base in the bottom of the sump.
@@TechGorilla1987 75% of what we deal with today has the inserts, but most of the seals are useless now because the state I’m in requires at minimum yearly inspections. We have one company that does monthly inspections on their sumps. The team I run mostly does pump/register installs and maintenance, we subcontract out all the major tank equipment installs
Watching this during my shift at a gas station rn 😂
It's either a Chevron or a marathon gas station / convenience store as you said earlier in the video
My first thought is how does it smell in there!My second thought why don't Post have any gloves on! 😂 Be safe out there Post!
Budweiser used to date beer with a "born on date", those bottles looked pretty clean. Could have probably gotten a date off of them closer to when the store closed down.
Tks for another great abandoned video Post 10👍
Thanks for posting, post!
Water isnt expired....the plastic bottle is....pour the water out. Its insane how much water is wasted stored in old bottled waters...
Actually, bottled water does expire. The chemicals in the plastic have a chemical affect on the hydrogen and oxygen atoms and cause them to separate over time. In fact, some older bottles of water can become flammable over a long time (decades) because, I'm sure you know, hydrogen is flammable.
Yup. Totally messing with you. Complete B.S. Luckily, this is TH-cam and I can say whatever I want and people will believe it because they're a bunch of cows chewing their cud. I'm just not allowed to say anti-woke things about the water or I'll get banned. 😃
I found an old gas station where I live (Western Australia) but the place has a motel attached as well. Love your content post! You inspire me for my channel.
Thanks Post! 👊🏻👍🏻 Appreciate you my friend 🙏🏻
Thankyou..your vids are always interesting..watching from NSW AUSTRALIA
Do you watch Tim the Lawnmower Man? 🇺🇸
@@Donnoha of course
Im loving these videos...a nice quiet break from the craziness of the world ..thank you! ❤
Good find post!
awesome video post 10 have fun and be safe.
Brilliant video Post , so so interesting .
That’s one hell of a fire in that place. It makes one wonder whether the fuel caught alight hence the severe burning everywhere. That old fridge was gross.
Thanks for this! ⛽
LOVE THE TOUR !!
Thanks for taking the time to explore it and showing us, Post. 👍
Great view with the farm.
You're a true Horsefighter!❤
I love videos like this!
That back room was not a storage room. It was an attached liquor store. I have been there when it was open. After years of working job that involved abandoned buildings and foreclosed homes it's still weird seeing the ones you spent time in.
I love exploration videos
B-B-Q sauce for the 🔥
Good video more abandoned place content.
No doubt by now all the beer has been taken!
Great explore, thanks for showing us.
Shame. That fridge was pretty gross! Eww!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Life after ppl I guess.
Interesting look around the gas station 💚🙏🏻
I hate to see a business go down. It only means a lot of lives changed that depended on that business.😮😢❤
@0:13 - not to be too much of a pedant, but the units that you interact with to fuel your vehicle are NOT, in fact, pumps at all. They're simply dispensers that dispense, measure and manage a fuel flow. That flow is created using submersible turbine pumps that are stationed at the bottom of risers down in the underground tanks. They're generally 2HP, stainless bodied slender pumps. I always kept a spare on my service truck. It's a distinction that needs to be made in the business and I learned it on my first day. There ARE fuel pumps that have their pumps in the base of the dispensing unit also. They're often found at quarries and motor pools. They're more often than not diesel pumps and can transfer fuel from above ground storage tanks or buried tanks.
Can't believe dude opened the refrigerator!
Cool very interesting😊
Awesome! I just did a vid of an abandoned gas station and mechanic shop near me and there were so many old parts and products inside!
Thats an old Chevron station. You can tell by the letters and colors on the signage out front.
It's a marathon
Marathon uses the same colors
That building design is Chevron. They were all built in that similar style back in the 80s and 90s with chevron
Read the history posted above chevron till 2006 abandoned til 2014 reopened as a marathon burned in 2016
This is the Red Rocket in Fallout 4,
Every place every subject ,post ten covers he always smashes it...I could watch and listen to him non stop...I seriously cannot get enough of this guy and his content...only one post ten ....others try to do what he does but not a patch on our post 10 ❤
It worries me when you go into toxic looking places, especially when you touch things with your bare hands😟please be careful!!
Not to mention the 1/1000 chance of the ceiling falling in while you’re in there.
Going by the looks of that gas station it used to be a Chevron station we have a few of them up here in northern Alabama
That's freon not propane
And the roasted beers are pretty crazy that they did explode I wonder who would dare drink one or just taste it
cool video.
Interesting. Where was this?
I think I had to repair a power steering pump there long ago. Sad to see it in such shape.
Those food posters are collectible
Dang Post, I'm impressed. You've been kickin on yur videos! 🤟🤟 Great job dude! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
you da man !
I like seeing old abandoned gas stations and car dealerships that has closed up, what state was that place in Young man??
Where is this??????? They have Turkey Hill iced tea! That's made where I'm from, Lancaster, PA! We used to have Turkey Hill convenience stores all over the county.
Is it still for sale?
We have an abandoned, fire damaged White Castle? The menu boards are still ali.ght
" Im surprised this hasnt been taken down yet."
Thank yoy for posting this.
Have a great weekend"!👍🇺🇸
The fire was more than 4 years ago. The date on the water was from 4 years ago, but typically those dates are good for years. Could've been 6 to 10 years ago
Back when cigarettes were cheap
@5:13 DO NOT let Steve1989MRE get hold of the coordinates of that place
Chevron
the room with the counter and all the shelves and the fake grape vines was a wine store attached to the gas station
This is fucking awesome, Post!
It looks like it might be an electrical fire or a propane fire if the cook doesn't clean the grill from the grease buildup but it's so sad to see that
surprised the bullet resistant glass is still there and intact
A lot of recycling could be done there. Lots of stainless steel
Location?
I don't give out locations to prevent these places from becoming robbed further. But the state was alabama
@@post.10 ok.
I'll never get why people destroy stuff.
Do you think that there’s still fuel in those underground tanks
I think there's definitely some sludge
👍
this place gives me the creeps
Strange how some very flammable stuff didn't burn
Read the title as someone abandoned a fire, and that fire damaged a gas station. I guess that's also true.
Former Walking Dead set?
👌
Hola ❤👍👍
I can smell it from here! 😂
Ahh no smashed Toilets?!?!? Hmm post you forgot to check for poops! 💩
At 5$ a pack for new smokes... unless someone changed that post-fire that would make me think 2008/2012, as they're more than twice that now. The gatorades still 2 for 3$... That's more along 2012/2016 prices. I'd assume this was at least ten years ago, around 2014. The expiration date on the water bottle throws me for a loop because expiration dates aren't usually printed on bottled water. Though if they are it's usually between 2 to 4 years. So 2016/2018 which rules out the cig price being legit or the water bottle being a recent addition. Without knowing the location for local price estimates for approximations, that's about the best I can do.
If this was down south, the cig prices have always been lower, as compared to the northern states. Can't remember the last time I saw a pack for that low.
I hope you took one of those beers and put it on your other TH-cam channel to open and drink later👀?

Thanks nice place alittld burnt thanks
I can tell they sold chevron gas because the pump roof whas blue and white
Water expires after about 2 years so that would have been 2018. PS it’s the water being contaminated with micro plastics that causes it to be bad
Dam smokes around $5 had to be at least 20 years; well guess it depends on where you're at,
You forgot to look in the toilets.
It would be helpfull when you point out where this object was. I guess it's not in the New Englad area but from your latest travel south? Missouri maybe?
What should I do on a Sunday morning? Watch an abandon burned out gas station video!
Check and see if there is any abandoned ATm in there.
From the price of the cigarettes, I'd say it burned around 2007ish
👍👍🙂
That place must have been abandoned for a while for cigarettes to only be $5. Haven't seen those prices in many years.
You didn't say where you were
Clearly wasn't fire damaged until after it was abandoned
😀
Thank you Post 10,for another great video. If that was burned on purpose. That pis*** me off. Because there's no sense in it.
Given the date of the fire, around covid lockdowns, someone might have tried to claim on insurance.
