No gas and oil.   It was other refined products.   Naptha and ethalyn

In an earlier life I’ve been to that facility, which was near a plant run by my previous employer.  I recall toluene, xylene, naptha and pyrolysis gasoline but not “ethalyn” or ethylene :). They stored various components used in gasoline blending, primarily to boost octane.

Pretty sure if you say it with a Texas accent it will come out ethalyn
