fuel tanks
What is a fuel storage tank and what is its use?
Fuel storage tank is one of the most widely used equipment in the industry. Fuel storage tank is used in areas where fuel transfer has not been done by piping. Many systems run on specific fuels such as diesel. But diesel does not exist in the form of piping, so they have to buy diesel and store it in these tanks for use over a period of, say, 6 months. This type of tanks can be made using different materials and used for different purposes. One of the most widely used tanks is the burial fuel storage tank.
What materials do they produce the fuel storage tank with?
Fuel storage tanks are often made of black sheet steel, but in some special cases, polymer and fiberglass materials are used to produce fuel storage tanks. But the most widely used material for the production of these tanks is black sheet steel with different thicknesses.
Application of fuel storage tank with black sheet steel
Storage of liquid fuels, petroleum products, chemicals and…
Transportation of liquid fuels, petroleum products, chemicals, water and other such fluids
Use in heating system
Use in factories and industrial workshops
Use in areas where there is no fuel.
Use in systems that run on specific fuels.
Types of fuel storage tank
Types of fuel storage by fuel type: Suitable for liquid fuel storage, suitable for gas storage, suitable for oil storage, suitable for petroleum storage, suitable for chemical storage
Types of fuel storage tanks based on the type of materials: tank made of black sheet steel, tank made of fiberglass and tank made of polymer by plastic injection
Types of fuel storage tank based on installation location: on the ground, underground and van (for transportation)
Advantages of black sheet steel fuel storage tank
Ability to produce on site
Reasonable price and economical
High impact resistance
High resistance to strong winds
Easy and fast repair
Possibility of producing these tanks with different shapes and dimensions
Can these tanks be used only for fuel storage?
These tanks are made of black steel sheet, so these tanks can be used to store chemicals, petroleum products, oils, water and other fluids in addition to liquid fuels.
What points should be observed in the maintenance of fuel storage tanks?
Must be installed away from fire and incendiary materials.
The lids of these tanks must always be closed.
If your tank leaks, do not weld it separately.
Be sure to use a Carbald expert to repair these tanks.
The installation location of these tanks should be smooth and smooth and avoid installing these tanks on separate slopes.
Under no circumstances should the tank used to store fuel be used as a storage tank for drinking water.
Be sure to check and check the piping and source components during the scheduling and planning.
Store in such a way that it is not hit.
Specifications of fuel storage source pipes
The connection of piping components that are placed inside the soil should be of welding type, except at the point of connection to the tank, which should be of flange or rib type.
The end of the vent pipe should extend at least three meters above the floor and have a special cap to prevent rainwater and snow from entering the pipe.
The end of the vent pipe should be at least one meter horizontally from each opening of the building.
