Narrative
On the kennedy to woodhaven pipeline segment, a delivery of ultra low sulphur diesel fuel was completing at the marshall meter station. The take off valve to the station did not close, causing a station lockout. This lockout closed the station delivery valve to the third party bulk terminal tank to close. This allowed the station to remain open to the pipeline while the controller began to shut down the pipeline. The station piping is properly rated for the pressure it encountered. The thermal relief valve on the station's piping was relieving to the underground sump tank which caused the tank to overfill. Wolverine personnel arrived & manually closed the take off valve to the station. The pipeline segment in the area of the marshall station remained down until a repair to the take off valve was made & the valve was properly tested for operation.
