Tesco petrol at fault again???????????

[stumpy]

The gas pipeline from Millford Haven is something else again. I think that would take some putting out if it accidentally caught fire. On an aside one of the bulk natural gas carriers would make one hell of a terrorist bomb should it be attacked by pirates on its way from Quatar to Milford. They could sail it up the Thames...

I've often thought that about the above ground storage tanks at LHR and LGW.

This may just run underneath your house ?

As you drive around the country have you ever seen a little stile with a fluorescent orange marker on a post in the hedgerows . Its the marker for the pipelines and makes it easy to spot from the air as it is patroled by helicopters on a regular basis .

I've always wondered what they were for. Thanks for that!

I live about a mile away from an LNG storage facility complete with permafrost as its in the ground ! Ironically I used to work at the other end of the supply route in Algeria .

Most of these markers you see are for high pressure gas pipelines, there are far more of them than oil pipelines.

Different colours for different types of pipe line ! Gas I believe is yellow/green flourescent.

Don't some of them show the water pipelines too?

They are all Red/Orange up our way, same as the oil pipeline markers.
