Gas Stations

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.

    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.

    Yes but it's not actually that big of a deal relatively speaking. Pump it dry into tanker trucks, rip the concrete up, scoop out the gravel, and drop a new one in (or repair but that can be a real pain) and if you're unlucky you might need a few pumps to keep the water out of the tank hole while you do this.
