"AN OPERATOR WAS PERFORMING A TANK FARM INSPECTION AND NOTICED PRODUCT STAINED SNOW NEXT TO TANK 677. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE OPERATOR NOTICED A MIST OF PRODUCT COMING FROM THE1/4"" QUICK CONNECT TEST PORT FITTING ON THE THERMAL RELIEF SYSTEM AROUND THE TANK RECEIVE VALVE. THE APPARENT CAUSE OF THE RELEASE WAS ICE ACCUMULATION IN THE QUICK CONNECT FITTING. THE RELEASE WAS ISOLATED BY CLOSING THE VALVE ON THE RELIEF SYSTEM LEADING TO THE QUICK CONNECT FITTING. THE VALVE AND THE QUICK CONNECT FITTING WERE REPLACED. FOLLOWING THE RELEASE, THE REMAINING QUICK CONNECT FITTINGS ON OTHER THERMAL RELIEF SYSTEMS WERE CHECKED AND TEST PORT VALVES WERE CONFIRMED CLOSED. NO EVIDENCE OF A DAMAGE WAS DISCOVERED ON THE OTHER THERMAL RELIEF SYSTEMS. MAGELLAN WAS UNABLE TO UPLOAD THE 7000-1 ACCIDENT REPORT FOR THE RELEASE DUE TO THE PHMSA PORTAL BEING DOWN.
