ABSTRACT:
A system for detecting leaks in hazardous liquid tanks, particularly underground gasoline tanks at service stations. The tank is filled incompletely to leave a space in the tank which is then filled with a gas under pressure. A reference tank is disposed within this space and continuous streams of gas are forced into the liquid in the reference tank and the liquid in the tank being measured. Resistance to gas introduction in the reference tank is compared with the resistance to gas introduction in the gasoline tank and monitored during a test period to note any differential variation which would indicate a leak in the tank.
