I would like some information and pictures abot fuel dstributors that were located in various towns. My town had two, both had 3 or 4 tanks supported horizontally be concrete supports conforming to the shape of the tank. The supports remain at one site, nothing at the other. <br /> <br />From the shape of the curve in the top of the suppoert, geometry tells me that the tanks at that site were about 9 feet and 12 feet in diameter. I wi***o model 3 of these sites, and need pictures or drawings of: <br /> <br />The tank car unloading equipment. <br /> <br />The truck loading piping. <br /> <br />General sizing of tanks (such as extention beyond the end supports). <br /> <br />Piping from unloading to pumphouse to truck loading. <br /> <br />Thank you.
