I need to summarize this page . :)

In the state of New South Wales in Australia as of tion relates to storio, including underground petrol sold (according to the point-of-sale system, what does it mean? Is there a facile in measuring the stock remaining in the underground fuel tank? Is there a faulty pump that is dispensing more fuel to the customer than they are paying for? Could one of the petrol station attendants be giving away free fuel 10 their friends by undercharging them? Or wores there a leak in the underground tank, meaning that petrol is leaking into the soil and contaminating the December 2018, over a thousand petrol stations and other petroleum storage facilities were reported to the NSW Environmental Protection Authority as por tentially contaminated sites, most likely from leaking system using SIR software still cannot tell you if the underground fuel tanks.

The true cost of leaking cesses are much more complex foel is not just to the service station owner's bank Petrol stations often run a variety of different balance, but to the environment hardware and software platforms, and some of them The financial cost of repairing a leaking under can be quite old by today's standards. There might ground petrol tank and remediating contaminated be one information system for tracking the amount soil is also significant-it can casily exceed $100,000 for just one leaking tank, and the petrol station's fuel of fuel dispensed per pump another to track the operations would typically be closed for at least three amount of fuel remaining in the large underground weeks, meaning loss of revenue on top of the cost tanks, and a third to manage the point-of-sale trans. of repair and remediation.

The lory the level of the underground fuel tanks (according to their work on detecting leaks is a widely used technique called statistical inventory reconciliation decreasing at a faster rate than the amount of fuel (SIR). With traditional SIR, the petrol station operator takos daily opening and closing measurements of the volume of fuel in the tanks, which may be as simple as using a giuge stick physically inserted into the tank or may involve an automatic tank gauge (ATC) that measures the level of fuel and reports back to a console. This volume of fuel in each tank is collated with the daily sales volume and any deliveries that have arrived, then provided as input to a computer program that runs a statistical analysis on the data over a period of time at least a month - to identify Nearby groundwater unesplained variations However, leak detection is just one part of the overall petrol station operation.
