UK HSE Releases Intital Buncefield Report
(OP)
Looks like a fire pump may have been the source of the VCEs ignition. Lots of questions still regarding containments.

There must be a lot of these things out there on non-COMAH sites which won't have received direct notification from the HSE.

Based on my readings of the incident description, the response and the "post mortem" evaluation of the fire, there should be an engineering review of tank overflow designs for flammable liquids.
In my opinion, these tanks lacked both:
1) A well designed overflow system
2) Automated shutoff on high-high level
