Lucky it's location was kept secret so well, that being destroyed at the right point during the war could have made the outcome very different.

The steel wire on the floor of the pump room is the wire armour from the steel wire armoured, (SWA), cable that the thieves had stripped for the copper. More worrying were the transformers they had gutted for the copper windings; older transformer oils contained PCBs. Another fascinating explore Thanks.

The noise in there must have been deafening when it was in operation

That was another great adventure from you guys. Enjoyed that a lot. We went into a fuel storage mountain once and one of us passed out as the result of the air quality in there so be careful :) Thanks a lot for sharing and Greetings sfrom WW2HistoryHunter

Very interesting video.Looking forward to seeing more. Thanks for sharing.

You had me on pins and needles down in the generator room. Definitely one of your more intense explores! Thanks as always.

Enjoyed this the first time round, googled for pictures prior to the evident fire, and the difference is marked. Thank you for the re-upload.

Thanks for the Fantastic Explorer keep it up can't wait for the next one cheers.😉

Thanks for re upload hopefully this time will remain as is. Without stopping at 1:01 seconds. Thank you again

Great video. Many thanks guys. ....

Awesome explore. Thank you so much.

Fantastic and the amazing pomps an all, i love it !!

Love this climate !!!!! Great pleace :-))) very very good video👍

I'm watching this again it's one of my faves

I didn't know that the we were using Metric in the those days. I love these videos, because the explorers also impart factual information about the exploration. Subbed.

Excellent and very interesting history on the place.

That was something else! Those massive oil pumps at the end were fantastic. There were probably many more of them located throughout the oil reserve. Looks like some places were on fire? I wonder who set them and if anyone felt foolish afterwards? I am too old to do an adventure like that but thanks for sharing!

Really amazing how soot affects the lighting in a video ,another epic video keep up the good work.I have seen some pictures of this location before it was so oily really impressive structure.

This is way cool. As well as the others. Thanks for sharing

Great video like all your others. Would love to see some exploration of some Auxiliary Unit bunks and GHQ line bunkers.

I must say. The intros are fantastic. Very atmospheric.

This is a fascinating insight into WW2 logistics, as are all your video's, keep em coming. I was intrigued by what looked like a fire blackened section of the tunnel. I would have thought a fire down there would be a devastating thing and one that could not easily be put out. I had to smile to myself when I saw the fire extinguisher stations on the wall at each shaft entrance, the term pissing into wind came to mind....... well done guy's.

Just what I was thinking... Lack of oxygen must have kept it from being worse. Would not have liked to have been down there when it started....

I’ve been in there a few times, incredible place. Gives you a massive headache after a while, but an amazing explore, I’m glad you filmed, as we never did.

Amazing place, too bad about the fire and vandalism. Loved that generator room.

Visited this place many of times, such a great place and really interesting. i have seen every part of it. Even the engine room which is a swimming pool of oil. Great video! shame it's boarded up currently.

Yeah, I agree. The quality of the structure looks like it could easily be opened up to the public, under guidance of course.

Hi IKS, FYI just finished watching series 3 of the crime drama 'The Tunnel'. In episode 3 there's a scene in Dover that looks like it was shot in this complex. You can even see an old fuel pipe running along a wall. I half expected to hear Ian calling out "Ello?" haha

wooooo this is fkn awsome dudes un real great video !!!!

Hey IKS awesome place. There must of been a strong oily smell down there.

Hi folks that place need to be restored as a museums what were those lovely engines down below kind regards from Mark in Cornwall biggest fan in Cornwall

That was different I loved it

This is a nice find good job, Question are the tanks below your feet ?

This is such an amazing site, it should be restored but my god they will have some cleaning to do. I can't understand where all the oil came from. I know the engine room had a sump under it but that would cause all the oil to leek. Maybe vandals were in there as there is stripped copper wire everywhere. What beautiful machinery though. Great vid

Great video. Fill to 8 meters (not yards) would suggest this was in use fairly recently?

Ian have you ever checked out Darnet fort in the river medway in Kent, it’s completely untouched

At mark 12 ;49 the electronics are modern when did they close this down

15,000 tons of fuel is converted about 500,000 US gallons, the tanks alone are the biggest "rooms" in there...

Super! Thanks!

Looks like they had a pretty major fire in there at some point in time. A beautiful big pump at 19:37 That deep drop as you noted behind the pumps were likely just fairly shallow (1 or 2 foot deep) spillage drains back to the tanks.

É simplesmente maravilhoso !

Have to say even tho this a reupload it's one of my favourite videos. You should go back and explore it a bit more as you missed the massive staircase

ok im ready lets light this candle lol

Interesting some repeated. You'd never get back in my car with those greasy Wellies.;)

Here we go...where did the ships dock to fill up or unload oil?

@17:28 that looks like all that's left from electric cable shielding, i would bet some one spent a long time down there to remove the copper cores lol

IKS Exploration that’s so sad... I’m curious about how the tanks are arranged and how they work.

Good evening gents, I live in the area where the roads are that you show at the beginning and end, in fact I know those roads very well. Would I be correct in assuming these furnace fuel oil reserves are in the area where I live?

Ian you should check out the other fort opposite darnet fort on the river medway on the hoo marinina side it would be a shorter boat ride across to the no man's land hoo fort is not so flooded like darnet fort.have a look on Google maps. Love your explores keep them coming respect to Chris to.👍

Come to French lorraine and alsace area this summer and I will guide you through the maginot line......

It's just disgusting how something that is so special to our historical heritage can be left to be destroyed to thieves and idiots whom don't have any respect.

I past by there at the beginning of this year, they were doing some GI up there...

That pump room must of taken some maintenance it looks like an old steam pump room with all thoses pistons!

Are you all blind in this comments section or does nobody bother to read the description of the video at all?

@ 9.47 on wards the ceiling and then the walls start to turn black, this is soot residue from a fire at some time! must have been horrific to have been down there while a fire raged :-0

That was amazing. It's a semi ruin now but to think of the effort involved in the construction of that bunker. I wonder how many hundreds of tons of oil is still down there. It should be harvested for the good of your country. Who to tell about it? You can be sure the navy doesn't care!

Had been a fire in the one bit

I see the copper thieves have been there some time in the past !

Where is this place?

Cool graphics.What game is this?

FFO or HFO nasty stuff, they used to have to heat the oil before pumping it as its was so thick, the heated it usually with steam

Would be nice to see places like this Without the wilful destruction of it by idiots ! Sad to see ( interesting video thanks )

I'm having a deja-vu. Anyways, the fire was more than likely started by cable thieves.
