Steel Underground Storage Tank – Fuel Oil Storage Tanks – Double Single Wall

The use of underground storage tanks (USTs) for fuels and other liquids has many advantages. These include space considerations, appearance, fire safety, and protection from the elements and from vandalism. However, unless installed and maintained properly, USTs have the potential for leakage from the tank or related piping. These leaks can exist undetected for years and cause pollution of the surrounding soil and even groundwater.

Our underground storage tanks are made from steel and coated with a corrosion resistant coating. Contact plates at the bottom will be fitted this prevents wear from measurement sticks hitting the bottom of the tanks.

Piping is installed with a protective coating.

Piping can be the same material as the tank or different requested by customer.

The most common releases from USTs are during filling, either from fill hose disconnection or from overfills. Prior to delivery, an accurate assessment of delivery volume should be made. Verification of tank volume meters with sticking of the tank (and conversion to volume using appropriate tank chart) should be conducted. Delivery volume should be such as to not fill the tank above 90% of capacity. Overfill alarms (audible, strobe, or both), which operate based on floats within the tank, are usually set at 85% to warm delivery person to cease filling, with another high level alarm at 90%. These alarms should be adjacent to the fill connection area to ensure they are seen and heard.

We welcome customer to send us drawings with detailed requirement. All types of tanks can be customized based on customer drawings.
