New tanks at Canton Kunoco

New fuel tanks went in at the Canton Kunoco Food Mart on County Rt. 27 recently. They replaced the tanks there with new twin 12,000 gallon tanks. Kuno Oil Co. Fuel Operations General Manager Ben Burds said the old tanks were reaching the end of their 30-year useful life and, and rather than wait for problems to arise, the company decided to ‘replace them ahead of any issue we might see down the road.’ Burds sent us the photo.
