Double wall fuel tank containment.

In the past tanks have been kept inside concrete containment pits to accomplish containment in the event of a tank or tank fitting failure. An open containment that is half full of water may overflow if a tank spills its contents into the containment. A double wall tank is a form of secondary containment that has a small footprint and is sealed to keep dirt debris and rain out of the containment area. This was not a satisfactory solution because the pits limit placement of tanks and are quite expensive to construct.

Double wall tanks are being used in more and more applications everyday to provide secondary containment for petroleum storage. We find they are being used by contractors resellers fleet fueling sites municipalities marine installations small businesses and on an increasing level even agricultural operations yes farms. Biodiesel is an efficient and clean alternative to traditional diesel fuel. This leads to the first big advantage of a single wall fuel tank.

Generally single wall fuel tanks are less expensive than their double wall counterparts. Our double wall steel diesel fuel storage tanks come in sizes from 1 000 gallon to 20 000 gallon and are perfect for the trucking industry and municipal fuel needs.
