What happens if the allowable percentage for tank fill is exceeded?

When the allowable percentage for tank fill is exceeded, it poses a significant risk of spills and fines. Overfilling a tank can lead to fuel overflow, which not only represents a financial loss but also poses environmental hazards. Spills can contaminate soil and water sources, causing long-term ecological damage and leading to potential legal repercussions for non-compliance with environmental regulations. Subsequently, regulatory bodies may impose fines or penalties for such incidents. Therefore, adhering to the allowable fill percentage is crucial to prevent these risks and ensure safe operation.
