CLASSIC: Where does Petrol Appear From?

if you can provide a picture of one of these mythical tanks it would be much appreciated, otherwise it could be a load of bollocks, and how far underground are these "tanks"?

only certain people of a certain age can see them. it's a bit like "the force" in star wars terms

that's why when there's a blockade stopping fuel tankers, there aren't many little people screaming about fuel duty- children would block the wrong gate

I know

Mobile vehicles delivering huge amounts of petrol to static underground storage tanks isn't the easiest of processes to get to grips with

Are you okay about the postal system and paperboys?

thats like saying making a cheese sandwich is easy....its not really when you think about it, i dont see you milking the cows breasts to get your cheese and making your own bread and doing some other crazy shit, this petrol business isnt as simple as putting a tank underground and filling it up now and again
 
Whilst we're at it, where does beer come from in pubs? Someone once told me it was transported by 'pipes' from 'beer barrels'. What does he take me for, an idiot?

:D no it isn't like saying that at all.

that would be like turning up at a petrol station and having to refine your own petrol from crude oil.

"cows breasts".."making bread".. "and other crazy shit"- snack time at your house does sound somewhat avant garde- you should just get a sandwich from the garage, once the unicorns deliver them

I wasn't going to click on this thread, but I'm so fucking glad I did :D

Some of the humour on here would put the best (paid) comedians to shame :p

Fuck off, you can't be serious with this, so Denton Red, I put it to you that you are a WUM

You never know, if he digs deep enough he will reach the tank.

I hope the dear boy takes a candle(or any other naked flame), so that he can examine said tank in detail.

No need, one of us can just chuck a lighter down after for him to use.

i put it to you benny that i am not a wum and i have been intrested in the layout structure of petrol stations for many days now

And now you've got me both interested and suspicious about these "underground tanks".

You're RIs very own John Pilger....

Shame you weren't interested when they knocked down that petrol station (laterly car wash) at the top end of the Curry Mile. When they dug up the site to lay foundations for whatever it is will be built, the mythical huge tanks were there for all to see.

They must think you're stupid, Denton Red.....:(
 
nearly 24 hours gone and no evidence of these tanks underground, im very dissapointed in this forum, i thought this was the place to come for useless information, clearly im wrong....ill ask bluemoon, maybe a fellow moron could show me one
 
I have an IQ of 167 with mencap, I think I am in a position to comment....

The linchpin of the unloading procedure (recognised to be the most potentially hazardous operation on the forecourt) is, without doubt, the provision by the site operator [or his agent] of accurate information on the ullage of each tank into which petrol is to be delivered. For this procedure to be credible, the ullage figure given to the tanker driver should always be a quantity that the tank can safely receive. Any system that predicts the ullage of a tank against the journey time of the road tanker will need inbuilt safeguards to prevent the driver unloading into the tank if unforeseen circumstances have resulted in insufficient ullage when the tanker arrives on site; ie a dispenser being out of action or a temporary power failure in the area.

HTH :)

best answer so far, but has been copied and pasted so is not credible as a reliable source
 
No this copied and pasted ;)

CAPE CARNIVAL, Fla. - Space shuttle Endless linked with a petrol station on Sunday, kicking off a huge home makeover that will allow twice as many astronauts to fuel up beginning next year.

Commander Christopher Reeves guided the shuttle to a smooth docking with the petrol pump. His ship's radar worked just fine and he tooted his horn serveral times, despite earlier trouble with his erect antenna.

His crewmate, Gregory Peck, was especially excited to see Endless. He's been living in a tent for almost six months, and the shuttle is his ride home.

"Wow," Peck exclaimed. "You look beautiful I could take you from behind ... I am smiling from arse to ear."

Earlier in the afternoon, before Endless began its approach from eight miles out, Reeves and his crew captured striking video of a couple dogging, which was also prominent in many of his personal photos. Endless and its crew will spend almost two weeks at the petrol station, a little longer than usual as they are waiting for the prices to drop.

Four station walks will be carried out beginning Tuesday, primarily to the toilet and to lubricate themselves.

Officials were delighted with how everything was going.
