This story reminded me of an incident years ago when I purchased an abandoned steel building with the intention of moving it to use in my business. Poking around among the weeds in the gravel parking lot I discovered the standpipes to an underground tank. Exploring as best I could with a short stick in the fading twilight, it seemed as though the tank was full and smelled like gas! Visions of wealth, in the form of a couple of thousand gallons of gasoline, evaporated the next morning when I hurried back to the site with a longer stick. I discovered I owned about 1,995 gallons of water with a jerry can worth of gas floating on top! Too bad, would have fueled my Vanagon for 40,000 miles! (RVC)
