Pipeline transportation of refined petroleum products involves operating and maintaining pressurized pipeline systems that move gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, heating oil, and similar refined products from refineries or terminals to distribution points. Operations typically include pump stations, metering facilities, control rooms, and pipeline right-of-way maintenance across potentially significant geographic distances.
