Cause detail: EQUIPMENT NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY

Cause detail: CRUDE OIL WAS BEING GRAVITY TRANSFERRED INTO THE TANK IN ORDER TO FLOAT THE INTERNAL FLOATING ROOF. THE OPERATORS WERE DIRECTED TO PERFORM AN HOURLY INSPECTION OF THE TANK TO LOOK FOR LEAKS OR ISSUES DURING THE INITIAL FILL. DURING THE HOURLY INSPECTION, OIL WAS DISCOVERED IN THE TANK DIKE. AN INSPECTION OF THE TANK REVEALED THAT A BLIND WAS LEFT OFF OF WHAT WAS THOUGHT TO BE A THERMOWELD, ALLOWING OIL TO LEAK OUT OF THE TANK WHEN IT REACHED THE LEVEL OF THE 2-INCH OPEN CONNECTION.

PHMSA trend classification: not significant, not serious.

PHMSA standardized cause: INCORRECT OPERATION — INCORRECT INSTALLATION.
