Narrative
An hep supervisor discovered the release as he was driving by the station, smelled gasoline and found product on the ground. Dan immediately stopped at the station and isolated the thermal relief valve to prevent any product from going into the sump. The hep supervisor contacted the vacuum truck operator that was already on-site to respond to the release. The free product was contained within the confines of the station. Upon further investigation by the hep supervisor it was determined that the manual sump gauge had become stuck failing to give accurate sump levels which caused the sump to overfill. The float was removed, cleaned, reinstalled and tested for freedom in movement. The contaminated soil was removed and disposed as required.
