Preferably auxiliary manholes are provided in the main cover having their own manhole covers. 'Ihese provide access to filling heads without the necessity of removing the main cover.
There are filling and other openings in the top or roof of the tank. These openings are preferably each surrounded by a connecting member having an annular shoulder juxtaposed to the tank roof and welded to it and an upwardly extending collar portion. A cylindrical tapped box runs through the collar and shoulder.
At least one of these members is each connected to the bottom end of a tube which extends upwardly from the top of the tank. The tube is open at the top to provide for venting the tank and carrying away vapour. The tube extends upwardly through an Opening in the deck or platform which registers with an opening in the tank. The bottom end of the tube is threaded to engage the bore of the connecting member. Two such tubes preferably extend upwardly well above the platform and preferably support a canopy. Preferably a measuring arrangement is provided in which a measuring stick extends upwardly in the tube from a level gauge oating in the tank. A sighting window is provided in the tube for taking readings off the gauge.
