    It is suggested, in the Model Code that Licensing Authorities should require underground tanks to he tested after they have been installed 20 years, and at regular intervals thereafter. This recommendation is carried out, for my records indicate the age of most tanks. Most garages and filling stations now have electric pumps, flame proofed, as required in the Regulations, and equipped with limiting devices. There are now very few commercial petrol filling stations at Herne Bay which have not been equipped with modern pumps. These were obligatory by I960 after a period of 10 years notice.
