2 hrs confidence: 
fill pipe Explanation: This is probably the shaft the liquid fuel goes down on its way to the underground tank. A German site: http://www.zenit.de/envitec/db/query/query-all.phtml?DB=Envi... English site: http://www.hse.gov.uk/lau/lacs/65-26.htm There have been a number of incidents, during and after road tanker deliveries, at petrol filling stations provided with Stage 1b vapour recovery where:- * Large quantities of petrol have flowed out from the **fill pipes** of storage tanks. * Fill pipes have become pressurised resulting in vapour and/or petrol being released to atmosphere when the cap is removed. |

peer agreement (net): +2filling shaft/tank filling shaft Explanation: obviously the shaft with the pipes leading from the outside outlet to the main tanks holding the different fuels. Word for word translation and professionals might have a specific name. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2006-08-08 08:01:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- a site deals with the design of tank filling station. Even this is an industrial station, it might gives some help. http://www.xf.org.cn/Fuel_Dispenser/Design3.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 hrs (2006-08-08 17:46:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- what with was is written in the above site, in which storage is used to name the underground tank and the fact that tank filling is ambiguous because it might confused with the filling of a tank car, it is probable safer to use storage filling shaft/storage tank filling shaft |
