Most states have rules which specify a level of water when they test the tanks. NOW The number I will give are "Out of thin air" not out of regulations.
But say for a specific size tank,, the State may allow say six inches of water in the bottom of the tank.
AMOCO back before they sold out to British Petrolum (BP) only allowed 3.. I have no info on the rules for other companies. (My source sold Amoco).
One station (NOT AMOCO) in Battle Creek MI was caught topping off his underground tanks with a garden hose.
ONE of the Advantages of modern E-10 Gasoline is alcohol will take the water out of the tank so as time passes even if there IS water in the underground tank, it will go away.
