These tanks come in various sizes and materials, such as steel, fiberglass, and concrete, depending on the type and volume of fuel stored.

How Does a Facility Fuel Storage Tank Work?

Facility fuel storage tanks are designed with specific features to ensure safe and efficient fuel storage and dispensing:

  1. Fuel Delivery: Fuel is typically delivered by tanker trucks and offloaded into the tank through designated fill points.
  2. Storage: The tank safely stores the fuel, preventing leaks, spills, and contamination.
  3. Dispensing: Fuel is pumped out of the tank and distributed to the point of use through a network of pipes and dispensing systems.
  4. Ventilation: Tanks are fitted with vents to regulate pressure and prevent the buildup of hazardous fumes.
  5. Safety Features: Overfill prevention systems, leak detection mechanisms, and emergency shut-off valves are incorporated to mitigate risks.
