Why didn’t the Japanese attack the fuel storage tanks?

If nothing else, for the photo effect.

They knew they were empty.

There was an article several months ago about a construction crew working on a hill above Pearl Harbor hitting an unidentified pipeline.

Real quietly, the Navy said,

“Oh, that’s the pipeline from our underground tank farm on the hill. It’s been there since before Pearl Harbor.”
