SHE�.l <br /> ' Mt.Diablo and Buena Vista <br /> c apinbros. Telephone HO 6-5531-2 <br /> Stockton, California <br /> * L U B R I C A T I O N * T U N E U P * B R A K E R E P A I R <br /> advised both verbally and later in a letter (addressed to the Shell Oil Co.) that as <br /> of that date they would be held responsible for any loss and demanded full <br /> restitution. After several days of monitoring Shell Oil agreed with us that a leak <br /> in a tank was indeed occurring. <br /> Since Shell Oil owned the tanks it was their responsibility to effect replacement. <br /> Under their direction a contractor was hired to remove the leaking tank and <br /> replace it. We believe the local contractor was a Mr. Jack Benton of Stockton <br /> Service Station Equipment Co. <br /> Because it was many years ago we find it difficult to recall the principals or <br /> details; however, upon removal of the tank a number of large holes in the wall of <br /> the tank were found. These holes were caused by rocks laying against the outer <br /> wall of the tank which induced electrolysis. In addition, the bottom of the hole <br /> from which the tank was removed was filled with gasoline. We recall that a <br /> worker was hired to clean up the remaining fuel, but after wading around in this <br /> fuel at the bottom of the hole he decided that it was too dangerous to work under <br /> those conditions. <br /> In conclusion, we recall that upon completion of the tank removal the Shell Oil Co. <br /> accepted our figures regarding loss of fuel and compensated us with a replacement <br /> of all fuel lost during the entire time frame of the leak. <br /> 2 <br />
