[200William-EC SP67851] SP 67851 - URGENT Petrol smell in basements

I just went down I think smell is same as yesterday. It's  stronger around the tank. But only marginally. 

What is now  even more concern is water is flooding from Avis water tank for their car wash.  Pouring  out of a garden hose which appears to be pushed into a concrete wall and flooding the wet wall pits. The pit has over filled and is flooding the basement.

>>> I dont have any experience with tanks with ULP   only diesel which are far less of an issue as diesel is not classed as dangerous. ULP is not only highly flammable but also a carcinogen. It's my understanding the vents from ULP tanks should  vent way away above the building where humans can not get near them.  Most Petrol stations now even suck the gas's back into the nozzles to be processed with carbon filters before they go into the atmosphere.
