When i worked as a weldor i was asked to go and
sonic the bottom of a big Diesel tank that leaked.
And see how big part of it that was rusty.
It sonic full 6mm everywere till i found a sheetmetal
screw  :o :o. Somebody had drilled a small hole and
used a sheetmetal screw to plug it and voila they had
their private gas station. Just bring a philips screwdriver
and a bucket ???

There was a spectacular "hi tech" gas incident around here a couple months ago. Thieves parked their motorhome over the tanks at a station in North Delta and went through the trap door to siphon gas. The thing caught fire and two thieves inside were barbequed quite well. I haven't heard any followup that says if they lived or not. A woman on fire ran from the motorhome and they didn't find her.
