The Smith County Sheriff's Department says right now they have no idea how someone was able to steal so much gasoline. The owner of the Shell Station, who just bought the store a few weeks ago, says right now he does not have any locks on these gas caps, which means anyone can get inside. It also means now is the time to get some locks. "Yes, he's going to put some locks on them," said Silva, referring to the station's owner.

The owner of Hira Gas And Food also says a gasoline truck should arrive in the next couple of days to fill their tanks.

Canada, Edmonton. Mystery substance in river identified as Naptha

July 2008 - Edmonton fire and hazmat crew work on setting up a boom to contain the spill on the North Saskatchewan River.

Officials confirmed the shiny substance spilled into the North Saskatchewan River on was naphtha, a petroleum-based solvent found in kerosene lamps and paint thinner.

Fire and hazardous materials crews spread booms along the river to sop up the chemical and look for residual pockets found on the river overnight. Nikki Booth, a spokeswoman for the fire department, said it was likely there are still traces of the solvent in the city's drainage system. It is not yet known how the substance found its way into the water, however, the fire department has traced the spill to a massive storm drain in the city's northwest. From there, the chemical made its way through the complex drainage system to the river.

Cheryl Robb, an Alberta Environment spokeswoman, said there is no evidence to suggest either the city's drinking water or any wildlife is in danger. Helicopter teams from Alberta Environment determined that there wasn’t any shiny residue on the river surface for 120 kilometres in either direction of the original spill.

UAE, New fuel stations outside city areas

New permanent fuel stations would be allowed only outside the city areas and mobile stations would be set up on the highways to reduce rush at the gas stations in the capital and in other emirates, according to Colonel Ghaith Al Zaabi, Director-General of the Federal Traffic and Patrol Department of the Ministry of Interior (MoI).

Colonel Al Zaabi informed that the meeting with ADNOC officials recommended to establish new stations in the remote areas, where there is a need for them, in addition to setting up mobile stations on the highways to reduce the rush at the petrol stations in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Northern Emirates.

Al Zaabi attributed the rush at ADNOC stations to the low prices, which are about 50 per cent less in comparison with the other companies. He added the premises of the new stations would be decided after studying the geographic surveys. "Moreover, the department will set fixed hours for the trucks to fill diesel in case they need it when they are inside the cities."

The MoI and ADNOC will increase the number of diesel dispensing units at the fuel stations to meet the increase in the number of trucks in the country. The MoI´s latest statistics showed that the total number of vehicles (trucks, heavy and light cars) has reached 1.8 million this year.

The decision to move fuel stations out of the city limits is due to the heavy rush at the ADNOC stations across the emirates.

Lebanon, South Annville TWP. Tanker overturns in Lebanon County

May 2008, . -- An overturned tractortrailer filled with 600 gallons of gasoline occupied emergency responders for about three hours at routes 322 and 241 south.

Lebanon County Hazmat teams covered the 2,800-gallon truck and area with foam to minimize danger of explosion when the truck was lifted upright, said Chief Ben Sutcliffe of South Annville Twp. police. No leakage of gas occurred, but some oil seeped out of the truck onto the road, Sutcliffe said, adding that there was no fire, explosion or injuries.

Pumps at a gas station at the intersection were shut down and the store was evacuated, although workers could remain in the garage, Sutcliffe said. There was also concern over keeping any fluids out of a nearby storm drain.

The Meyer Oil Company tanker, driven northbound on Route 241 by James R. Nace, 61, of the 900 block of Poplar Street, Lebanon, overturned around noon, Sutcliffe said, after Nace lost control while braking on the wet road for the stop sign at Route 322.

The truck started sliding and hit an embankment, and rolled onto its side.

Both roads were closed for about three hours.

Malaysia, Klang. Thieves siphon off petrol

June 2008 - Cars parked in housing areas have become the frequent target of thieves now, not for valuables, but for petrol.

Teluk Pulai Residents Association chairman Loo Hock Chai said petrol was the new target following the recent fuel price hike. “At least 20 residents from five housing estates have complained about the theft this month. The thieves come out after midnight and look for cars parked outside the terrace houses,” he said.

Aresident from Taman A& M Toh Chong Hoo, a 50-year-old businessman, said his Proton Iswara parked outside his house was broken into, but no money was taken, only the jack. After spending more than RM100 to fix the broken window, Toh said he lost about RM100 of petrol the next day. “I was shocked to find out my car petrol tank was empty when I tried to start the engine to go to work at 7am. “Abig patch of petrol stain was seen underneath my car and the nut of the petrol tank was on top of the bonnet. “I filled up the car the night earlier before returning home,” he said.

Meanwhile, Loo said residents could not sleep well despite having community patrol team every night. Most of the victims did not lodge police
