Not a good thing to find after a heavy rain
This situation happened when the BP gas station was in the process of replacing their underground storage tanks. The old tanks had been removed and the new ones in place and filled with approximatly 3,000 gallons of gas to keep them in place while they were covered. Before they could be covered we were hit with a storm which dumped almost an inch of rain in a half an hour which caused the tanks to float to the surface.
