    Unusual to be closed all day, but I've seen filling stations closed off in that way, while the underground tanks are being refilled, for safety reasons presumably.

    But the tanks in service stations are filled almost daily without closing the premises. Must have been something else.

    None of that nonsense years ago. When I was a youngster and working as a pump attendant, we had to use an old fashioned crank handle to manually dispense the fuel when the power went. (You'd be praying a truck with twin tanks didn't arrive looking for a fill).
