Pearl Harbor Fuel Farm was a prime target for the unlaunched 3rd wave of Japanese bombers on 07 DEC 41. Notice the size of the cars around it. You can tell how huge these fuel tanks are.

Tank farms, containing 140 million gallons (530 million liters) of bunker oil, were unscathed, providing a ready source of fuel for American submarines at the submarine base. These were vital to the initial phase of the War, and to commerce raiding throughout, and illustrate the deficiencies of Japanese planning for the attack.
