It is easy to damage this pipe by dropping or stacking heavy objects on it. Make sure it is well protected. Regularly inspect the whole system for leaks or small spills. They often appear as relatively harmless stains on the soil or in the basement, but these may indicate bigger problems. Do not use the area around or under the tank as a storage area.
Heavy items can damage the fill or supply pipes.
Use a locked fill pipe cap to help prevent vandalism. Arrange to be present when the tank is filled. That will give an opportunity to confirm with the delivery person the amount being delivered and ensure that the correct pipe is being used. Problems - Underground Tanks Underground fuel storage tanks are more difficult than aboveground tanks to monitor and maintain. Leaks can persist for some time without being discovered and cause significant groundwater pollution.
