Narrative
On 10/12/2019 at 7:55 a.M. A contractor reported the smell of gasoline to an operator. After securing the area, the operator identified the source of the 36 barrel leak to be coming from the j242 pump. The pump was isolated and the product cleanned with a vac-truck. After further investigation it was determined that the pump body had cracked do to thermal stress. An overnight temperature swing from 65 degrees to 34 degrees generated a thermal stress transfer from the pipe which caused the pump body to fail. A new pump has been ordered and will be installed upon arrival.
