Narrative
A hi-hi vapor alarm alerted operations to a potential problem at 0336. A technician was dispatched and arrived at 0424. Smelling gasoline, he did not turn on the lights due to the presence of gasoline vapors. At approximately 0517 the release amount was determined to exceed 5 gallons and external notifications were begun. The cause of the release was failure of the inboard pump seal. The technician and contractor support team replaced the seal later that day. Approximately 14.7 gallons (0.35 bbls) of gasoline was released into containment and transferred into transmix storage. Note: part a, #9 and 11 determined from dimensions of containment. Note: part c, #3, the pump was installed in 1956; unknown date of subsequent (if any) seal replacement.
