A spill containment apparatus includes a container adapted to be coupled to an end of a riser pipe of a storage tank and having a proximal end and a distal end. A tubular socket is formed in the container adjacent its distal end for receiving the riser pipe therein. The socket includes a securing mechanism for securing the container to the riser pipe, wherein the securing mechanism is spaced proximally of the distal end of the container to define the socket. The socket is configured to allow the riser pipe to support and balance the container during coupling of the container to the riser pipe.

1. A spill containment apparatus for containing liquid spillage from a fill operation, comprising: a container including a central tube having a passageway for receiving an end of a riser pipe of a storage tank,a nipple adapted to carry access structure for accessing the riser pipe with a supply hose; andan adaptor having a first end configured to be removably coupled to the container and a second end configured to be coupled to the nipple, the adaptor spaced from the central tube,wherein the nipple is configured to be selectively assembled to and removed from the container by respectively coupling or removing the adaptor from the container. 2. The spill containment apparatus of claim 1, wherein the adaptor includes one or more fasteners for coupling the adaptor to the container, the one or more fasteners being accessible by a tool for manipulation thereof. 3. The spill containment apparatus of claim 1, wherein the access structure includes at least one of an adaptor and a cap. 4. The spill containment apparatus of claim 1, wherein the container comprises: a primary spill container; anda secondary spill container,wherein the primary spill container is disposed at least in part in the secondary spill container to provide redundancy to liquid spillage containment. 5. The spill containment apparatus of claim 4, wherein the primary spill container includes a primary body coupled to a primary base and the secondary spill container includes a secondary body coupled to a secondary base, the secondary base adapted to be coupled to the riser pipe and the primary base adapted to be coupled to the secondary base, the adaptor being coupled to the primary base. 6. The spill containment apparatus of claim 4, further comprising: an outer sump housing adapted to contain at least in part the primary and secondary containers, the outer sump housing including a cover for accessing the access structure carried by the nipple. 7. The spill containment apparatus of claim 1, wherein the containment apparatus is one of a double-walled, single-walled, or multi-port design. 8. A method of assembling a spill containment apparatus for containing liquid spillage from a fill operation, comprising: coupling an end of a riser pipe of a storage tank to a container including a central tube having a passageway for receiving the riser pipe,coupling a nipple to a removable adaptor external of the container, the nipple adapted to carry access structure for accessing the riser pipe with a supply hose; andcoupling the adaptor to the container such that the central tube is spaced from the adaptor. 9. The method of claim 8 further comprising: performing maintenance on the spill apparatus, comprising removing the adaptor carrying the nipple from the container to expose a component for repair or replacement. 10. A spill containment apparatus for containing liquid spillage from a fill operation, comprising: a primary spill container;a secondary spill container adapted to be coupled to an end of a riser pipe of a storage tank and situated relative to the primary spill container such that the primary spill container is disposed at least in part in the secondary spill container to provide redundancy to liquid spillage containment;a nipple adapted to carry access structure for accessing the riser pipe with a supply hose; andan adaptor having a first end configured to be removably coupled to the primary spill container and a second end configured to be coupled to the nipple,wherein the nipple is configured to be selectively assembled to and removed from the container primary spill by respectively coupling or removing the adaptor from the primary spill container. 11. The spill containment apparatus of claim 10, wherein the primary spill container includes a primary body coupled to a primary base and the secondary spill container includes a secondary body coupled to a secondary base, the secondary base adapted to be coupled to the riser pipe and the primary base adapted to be coupled to the secondary base, the adaptor being coupled to the primary base. 12. The spill containment apparatus of claim 10, further comprising: an outer sump housing adapted to contain at least in part the primary and secondary containers, the outer sump housing including a cover for accessing the access structure carried by the nipple. 13. A spill containment apparatus for containing liquid spillage from a fill operation, comprising: a primary spill container;a secondary spill container adapted to be coupled to an end of a riser pipe of a storage tank and situated relative to the primary spill container such that the primary spill container is disposed at least in part in the secondary spill container to provide redundancy to liquid spillage containment;a nipple adapted to carry access structure for accessing the riser pipe with a supply hose; andan adaptor having a first end configured to be removably coupled to the primary spill container and a second end configured to be coupled to the nipple such that the adaptor and nipple are removable from the primary spill container without the primary spill container being removed from the secondary spill container. 14. The spill containment apparatus of claim 13, wherein the primary spill container includes a primary body coupled to a primary base and the secondary spill container includes a secondary body coupled to a secondary base, the secondary base adapted to be coupled to the riser pipe and the primary base adapted to be coupled to the secondary base, the adaptor being coupled to the primary base. 15. The spill containment apparatus of claim 13, further comprising: an outer sump housing adapted to contain at least in part the primary and secondary containers, the outer sump housing including a cover for accessing the access structure carried by the nipple.
