Narrative
On september 28, 2020 at 13:35 mdt a technician discovered oil on the pump building floor around the mp2 pump at the douglas station during a visual station check. All free oil was contained within the pump building and was approximately 15 gallons. The pump was shutdown and locked out to prevent further release. The oil was promptly cleaned up and properly disposed of. The source of the leak was from a 1" threaded connection at the top of the pump case on the outboard side. The 1" connection is part of the balance line from the outboard to inboard side of the pump. The pump will remain locked out until repairs can be made. An investigation to determine if a better balance line design is feasible will be at a later date.
