At this particular site, there are four tanks: one 10,000 gallon tank for diesel fuel, two 8,000 gallon tanks for Regular and Plus fuel, and one 6,000 gallon tank for premium fuel. The fill sumps and spill buckets are designed to fit both 10,000 gallon and 8,000 gallon tanks, but do not correctly fit 6,000 gallon tanks.

The Engineer has scheduled a meeting with the Area Sales Manager to discuss replacing the 6,000 gallon tank at this station. The Engineer has opened the meeting, and the dialogue is continuing.
