  • A typical gasoline station has a storage capacity of 30,000 to 40,000 gallons in underground tanks. In the past, these tanks were sometimes subject to spills from overfilling and to leaks caused by corrosion. Today, station owners have taken several important steps to reduce these risks.

    Once you learn more about the world around you and everyday things in your environment you've currently taken advantage of and pay no mind to, (be it man-made or natural) you start to appreciate things a lot more and really marvel at what you have in front of you. From gas station engineering to how a Venus Flytrap plant works. We live in an amazing world and I wish more people would appreciate it.

    One time I was going to fill up at a Royal Farms. There was a massive gas leak a few pumps to my right and I didn't notice till a few managers and one oil company manager all crowded around me and gave me the news. They said none of the pumps were gonna work at the moment but welcomed me to wait. Unfortunately, what I didn't realize was that my increased intake of potent Cannabis that day really boggled my mind and I didn't notice till I attempted to engage in conversation. Soon, I said my goodbyes and decided to go to the local Wawa instead. 2 minuets prior to all of this, I decided to put all of my Cannabis and accessories in closed environments. Holy hell man, what a day that was.

    • @saulramirez9852
      @saulramirez9852 Před 7 lety +6

      No one said EV's are going to save the environment or the planet from global warming for that matter, EV's convert about 59%-62% of the electrical energy from the grid to power at the wheels, even if the power source is from a coal plant, it still makes good use of that energy. Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles only convert about 17%-21% of the energy stored in gasoline to power at the wheels, whilst still needing engine fluids to maintain the vehicles performance such as oil and gas to power it.

    • @saulramirez9852
      @saulramirez9852 Před 7 lety +7

      and what if you have an electric that is purely powered from a home solar grid? is it still burning oil? EV's are as green as their juice makes them to be. BTW EV's are a solution to the future, 50 years from now we will be running on fumes for the search of crude oil and natural gas, considering the increase in population, demand can only become exponential

    • @randomvideosn0where
      @randomvideosn0where Před 6 lety +19

      Yes but it's not actually that big of a deal relatively speaking. Pump it dry into tanker trucks, rip the concrete up, scoop out the gravel, and drop a new one in (or repair but that can be a real pain) and if you're unlucky you might need a few pumps to keep the water out of the tank hole while you do this.
