      KANEB SERVICES ANNOUNCES PLAN TO UNLOCK COMPANY VALUE BY DISTRIBUTING
    ITS PIPELINE, TERMINALING AND PRODUCT MARKETING BUSINESS TO SHAREHOLDERS

                                   Highlights

o    Shareholders will receive immediate, significant benefit through long-term,
     cash-yielding  shares of new entity

o    Shareholders will retain shares in growth-oriented technology and technical
     services business

o    Company intends to complete distribution by mid-year 2001

DALLAS,  TEXAS  (November 27, 2000) - Kaneb  Services,  Inc.  (NYSE:  KAB) today
announced the decision of the Board of Directors to unlock the  Company's  value
by distributing its pipeline,  terminaling and product marketing business to its
shareholders in the form of a new Limited Liability  Company (L.L.C.).  This new
L.L.C.  will own the general  partner  interest and 5.1 million  limited partner
units of Kaneb Pipe Line  Partners,  L.P. (the  Partnership),  currently held by
Kaneb  Services,  and the Company's  wholly owned  petroleum  product  marketing
subsidiary.  Kaneb  Services'  shareholders  will  retain  their  stake  in  the
Company's  growth  businesses,  which are focused on  technology  and  technical
services.

"We  are  very  pleased  to  announce  the  plan  to  distribute  our  pipeline,
terminaling and product marketing business to our shareholders, giving them both
immediate  value and a strong  cash-yielding  security  for the long term," said
John R. Barnes,  Chairman,  President  and CEO of Kaneb  Services,  Inc. "We are
equally excited that this plan will unlock our value as a growth company focused
on information technology and technical services,  which are valuable businesses
in the marketplace and in the stock market."

The Company's intention is to complete this action by mid-year 2001. The Company
also intends to apply for listing of the L.L.C.  on the New York Stock Exchange,
where the Partnership  units as well as Kaneb  Services'  common stock currently
trade.

According to Mr.  Barnes,  "We have elected to create this entity in the form of
an  L.L.C.,  which  will be  treated as a  partnership  for  Federal  income tax
purposes. This maximizes value for our shareholders by allowing us to distribute
available cash on a quarterly basis and eliminate  double  taxation.  We believe
that the L.L.C.  value is greater than what the whole  company has recently been
trading at. At the same time,  our  shareholders  will  retain  their stake in a
strong growth company focused on technology and technical services."

Unlike  a  dividend  that is taxed at the full  rate for  ordinary  income,  the
planned  distribution  of pro-rata  shares in the new L.L.C.  will be taxed at a
capital  gains  rate,  and that rate will  apply  only to a portion of the value
distributed to the shareholders.  The taxable portion is the amount by which the
market  value of the  L.L.C.  shares,  when  they are  distributed,  exceeds  an
allocated  portion of the cost of Kaneb Services'  shares.  A shareholder's  new
basis in the  L.L.C.  shares,  which  can be used,  going  forward,  to  shelter
ordinary  income from  future  L.L.C.  distributions,  is the same as the market
value of the L.L.C.  shares  when  distributed.  Kaneb  Services  will apply its
valuable net operating loss carryforwards to minimize the Company's taxable gain
from this transaction.

"We are very pleased to announce this exciting  plan," Mr. Barnes said. "We will
deliver  an  immediate  and  significant   benefit  to  our  shareholders,   and
substantial opportunities for growth in the future."

ABOUT KANEB PIPELINE, TERMINALING AND PRODUCT MARKETING

As general partner, Kaneb Services operates, manages and controls the operations
of Kaneb Pipe Line Partners,  L.P.  through its wholly owned  subsidiary,  Kaneb
Pipe Line Company (KPL), which owns a general partner interest and a 28% limited
partner interest (5.1 million units).

Kaneb Pipe Line  Partners,  L.P.  (NYSE:  KPP) is engaged  in the  transport  of
refined petroleum products and the terminaling and storage of petroleum products
and specialty  liquids.  The  Partnership  was formed in September 1989 to own a
2,075 mile common carrier  pipeline system operating from Kansas to North Dakota
that has been managed by Kaneb Pipe Line  Company,  the general  partner,  since
1953.  The  Partnership  increased its pipeline  assets with the purchase of 550
miles of pipeline in Wyoming,  Colorado and South Dakota in February  1995,  and
175 miles in Iowa and South Dakota in December 1998. The Partnership entered the
liquids terminaling business with a large acquisition in 1993, and has more than
tripled  the  size  of  this  operation  through  subsequent  acquisitions.  The
Partnership is a major transporter of refined petroleum  products in the Midwest
and is the third largest  independent  liquids terminaling company in the United
States.  Worldwide  operations include 61 facilities in 26 states and the United
Kingdom.

In the third quarter 2000, the Partnership  announced the largest acquisition in
its  history,   which,   when  completed,   will   significantly   increase  the
Partnership's  West  Coast  presence  and add 7.8  million  barrels to its total
tankage  capacity.  In the same period,  the Partnership  also announced an East
Coast  acquisition  that  will add  another  1.6  million  barrels  to its total
capacity.

Kaneb  Services'  product  marketing  group operates as a gasoline and petroleum
products  wholesaler in the Great Lakes and Rocky Mountain  regions,  as well as
California.  The product  marketing  group buys product from major oil companies
and small  refineries,  and resells to more than 200  independent  distributors.
This group  occupies an  important  niche in  petroleum  products  distribution,
providing gasoline producers another outlet for their production and independent
distributors a reliable source of product.

For the trailing  twelve-month  period  (October 1, 1999 through  September  30,
2000), cash  distributions to Kaneb Services from its Partnership  interests and
cash flow from its product marketing  business totaled $18.9 million,  exclusive
of any accounting and other  adjustments  that may be made in the preparation of
pro formas that will be included in an information  statement to be published to
shareholders before the L.L.C. distribution.
