06.01 How are underground tanks typically filled?

Undergound tanks are typically filled by gravity drop from delivery trucks. Delivery hoses are connected to the tank fill pipe with a tight-fill connection at an in-ground spill containment sump. The underground tank fill pipe includes an overfill prevention valve that closes at 90% of tank capacity.
