Tank Trouble Tuesday

Operators of fueling sites with fiberglass tanks that were installed after the EPA 40 CFR part 280 UST regulations were launched in 1988 are now looking at a tank population that is between 20 and 30 years old.

Age alone cannot determine the state your tank is in. We have found 30 year old steel tanks in good condition, but the 25 year old tank fiberglass tank featured below needed to be removed from service and replaced.

A TankCam® inspection is a great first step, as we recommend in our Aging Fiberglass UST Assessment program. Getting a clear look at what's happening inside these tanks allows you to make an informed decision and take further steps if needed.
