"Leave What You Don't"

Luciana, Dom, and Pete are the ones ensuring operations at Tank Town are running smoothly by pumping oil from the ground and converting to fuel. After Logan and his crew finally discover the location of Tank Town, they take over the oilfield at gunpoint. However, operations spiral out of control, forcing the survivors to work together to regain control after Doris and Logan's other henchmen flee. Just as operations at Tank Town are under control, Logan's crew attempt to take it away from the caravan survivors, but have a change of heart when suddenly they are gunned down by Virginia and her army of Pioneers. They declare that they will be taking over Tank Town, with Luciana volunteering to stay behind and keep operations going.

Season 6

"Bury Her Next to Jasper's Leg"

Tank Town was destroyed in a mysterious attack by someone on the inside. Dozens of workers managed to escape Tank Town after the initial attack, though many were injured and in need of medical attention, including Pete. Approximately thirty workers and guards were killed, including many of the injured survivors that Luciana and the others attempted to rescue. Mary Anne and the other injured in the medical trailer awaiting evacuation had succumbed to their wounds and turned on each other, leaving no survivors. With the fires out of control, the oil well eventually caught fire and ignited a huge explosion that leveled much of Tank Town, leaving it completely in ruins.

"The Holding"

While searching Derek's bunk for clues, Al and Wes discover several hidden maps including some belonging to CRM and one with the coordinates of Tank Town on it. In a notebook amongst Derek's belongings, Al finds logs of when Virginia was sending people to Tank Town, proving that the Doomsday Cult was keeping track of their movements as well as of other settlements.

When Wes goes to confront his brother, he sees him painting a mural of several places, including Tank Town. Wes realizes that it was Derek who organized the attack on Tank Town and the other communities, but Derek insists that it was necessary as humanity has to start over and they can't until everything and everyone is gone. Wes reveals his presence at Tank Town when it was destroyed as well as his shrapnel wound and he attempts to learn if Derek knew that he was present at the time and still attacked anyways. Derek claims that he didn't know and would've gotten Wes out if he'd known, but he still would've killed everyone as its what Teddy wants.
