The tank register
43,273 tanks across 16,121 facilities — about 2.7 per site.
What a delivery certificate is
It is the document that authorises fuel to be delivered into a tank. A facility without one cannot lawfully be filled, which makes this register a fair proxy for « which tanks are actually in service »: 43,173 of the 43,273 are marked in use.
⚠️ One row is not one tank
The Commission publishes 69,143 rows for 43,273 physical tanks. A compartmented tank appears once per product it holds — petrol in one compartment, diesel in another — and some rows repeat outright. We group by facility and tank number, and carry the products as a set: 7,384 tanks hold more than one.
That is a normalisation, not an alteration: no value is changed, and the raw file is one click away. It matters because counting rows instead of tanks would overstate the register by 60 %.

Tanks at sites with a leak case
16,846 of the 43,273 tanks sit at a facility that also has an LPST case on record — 38.9%. Of the sites, 6,822 have both, and 404 have a leak case that is still open.
A tank at a site with a past leak is not itself a problem: most of those cases are closed, and a closed case is one the regulator considers finished. The pairing is worth knowing, not alarming. How to read an open case.
