As a food microbiolgist for a Sara Lee production facility in Michigan, I would suspect that corn syrup tanks would be inside the plant since it has to be kept near 100F so it will flow. All our bulk tanks are situated inside the production facility with the exception of the 90' granulated sugar silo. While we have a rail spur at the back of the plant, we use only trucks for delivery of all bulk materials. For corn syrup and flour, the tankers hook up to piping inside the plant fence line and pump to the inside tanks.
