The Exxon gas station at 7975 Old Georgetown Road in downtown Bethesda was fenced off last night. Signage was dark, and prices were no longer shown for the various grades of gas. An underground fuel tank maintenance firm vehicle is parked on-site. Tank Tech retrofits and relines, inspects and repairs fuel tanks.
This doesn't mean the station is closed permanently, as they may just be repairing or replacing the fuel tanks under the pump bays, as has happened at a number of stations which reopen days or weeks later. Large dirt piles can be seen within the fenced-in area.
