Most of the ones in South Walton and Freeport have already installed the double-lined tanks, or are in the process, or have stopped selling gas. No news here.

I was assuming that there had been some new laws that kicked in because a lot of stations are in the upgrade process right now.

It is most likely that the fillups foodstore in Freeport will close with the new 331 open, and the Chevron and BP on that corner with hwy 20. Chevron is new and has the double-lined tanks, and BP should be nearly complete with the change of tanks very soon if not already.
