Fuel Storage Tanks

Southern Tank is a leading manufacturer of fuel storage tanks. We fabricate carbon steel and stainless steel fuel storage tanks that are compatible with all types of fuels and their additives, including biodiesel and ethanol. Optional custom exterior coating systems and interior linings for carbon steel tanks ensure compatibility with specialty fuels and petrochemical feedstocks.

Products stored in fuel storage tanks manufactured by Southern Tank include all grades of gasoline, diesel, kerosene, avgas, commercial and military jet fuel, racing fuel, asphalt and a wide array of petroleum-based oils and lubricants. With the emerging fuels markets expanding, alternative fuels are fast becoming a major player in the demand for new fuel storage tanks.

All industrial tanks must be properly inspected and maintained in line with federal regulations. For more details, see the EPA’s official guidelines on tank inspections.

Southern Tank’s fuel storage tanks come in a wide range of capacities and can be configured in horizontal or vertical, cylindrical or rectangular builds. We fabricate single wall and double wall tanks to these standards:

• UL 2085 Fireguard® 2-hour fire protected
• Fire tested Flameshield®
• F921® double wall
• Single wall UL 142
• API 650 appendix J
• Gen-Tank subbase tanks
• Small non-labeled farm tanks for use with pumps or gravity units

Note that a double bulkhead divider in your horizontal or rectangular fuel storage tank lets you store multiple products in a single tank.

Proper fuel storage is critical for safety, environmental protection, and minimizing liability. It ensures fuel is available for essential operations, prevents costly downtime, and safeguards your assets. Compliance with EPA regulations, fire codes, and zoning laws is also essential to meet legal requirements and demonstrate risk management.
