The Exolum Pipeline System, formerly the CLH Pipeline System and the Government Pipelines and Storage System (GPSS), is a fuel pipeline system in the United Kingdom.[1] Originally constructed by the government to supply fuel to airfields in World War II, it is now owned by Exolum.
The system once consisted of over 2,500 kilometres (1,600 mi) of pipeline and more than 46 facilities. In 1989 there were 40 Petroleum Storage Depots in operation plus large numbers of other facilities such as pump-stations, junctions, and ingress and egress points, although many of these have now been closed.[2] It is interconnected with other commercial pipeline systems.
