Gas stations shut pumps to avoid underground tank upgrades
Nationwide mom and pop stations closed on the deadline to replace or upgrade underground tanks to meet federal rules. About 20,000 stations risk fines up to 11,000 dollars per day per tank if they continue pumping. In Canton Massachusetts Al Lewis emptied 19 dollars of fuel as he anticipated not meeting the deadline. The AP found similar closures across many states as investigators seek spill, overflow and corrosion protection.
