A tanker is used to transport the Petrol from storage tanks to the petrol station.
Petrol pump stations use underground tanks for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it's safer than having it in a tank above ground, as it keeps it away from any risk of sparks. Secondly, it keeps the fuel a bit safer from thiefs.
In storage tanks, which are usually underground for safety.

The volume of a petrol tank refers to the maximum amount of fuel it can hold, typically measured in liters (L) or gallons. At PETRO Industrial, tank volume varies based on application, design, and capacity needs. PETRO Industrial offers a wide range of fuel storage solutions, from small portable tanks to large-scale bulk fuel systems. Their petrol tanks can range from under 500 liters for smaller mobile units to over 100,000 liters for large stationary tanks used in industrial and commercial operations. The exact volume of a tank depends on factors such as shape (cylindrical, rectangular, or custom), single or double-wall construction, and intended use (above-ground or below-ground). It is essential to select a tank size that meets your fuel storage requirements while complying with safety and regulatory standards. PETRO Industrial (petroinddotcom) designs tanks with features that enhance capacity management and safety, including integrated pumping systems, fuel meters, and level gauges. Understanding the volume of a petrol tank is critical for fuel logistics, operational planning, and environmental compliance. Whether for fleet refueling, remote site operations, or bulk fuel storage, PETRO Industrial provides tailored tank solutions to suit various industries and fuel volume needs.
petrol is found underground
Not that long actually. once the buildings are demolished, and the site cleared - all that's left is the underground storage tanks. The tanks are pumped full with a slurry of concrete. this forces any remaining fuel to the surface, where it's decanted into a tanker. The concrete-filled tanks are simply left to harden. Since the now unusable tanks are burried fairly deep anyway, the site is usualy just grassed over.
The German word for petrol station is "Tankstelle".
Skovshoved Petrol Station was created in 1936.
