Diesel storage tanks play a crucial role in safely holding and dispensing fuel across industrial, commercial, and transportation sectors. Modern fuel containment demands uncompromising durability, total corrosion immunity, and active environmental protection. Eissa Fiberglass manufactures advanced fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) fuel tanks engineered to withstand hydrocarbon permeation and prevent subsurface fuel leaks.
Depending on project requirements, our diesel tanks are manufactured in vertical or horizontal cylindrical configurations, as well as space-saving rectangular designs. Advanced underground models incorporate double-wall construction with an interstitial leak-detection chamber, delivering the highest degree of safety and strict compliance with local municipal and civil defense guidelines.
Today’s diesel tanks are built for structural strength and environmental adaptability. For underground retail stations, logistics depots, and critical facilities, our double-wall FRP construction features an internal containment shell surrounded by an outer secondary vessel:
| Component | Engineering Specification & Functionality |
|---|---|
| Primary Fuel Liner | Pure resin-rich contact layer with hydrocarbon-resistant isophthalic / vinyl ester resin to prevent fuel degradation and permeation. |
| Interstitial Annular Space | A 360-degree precision gap between primary and secondary walls equipped with liquid or dry vacuum/pressure leak sensors. |
| Secondary Outer Vessel | Heavy structural laminate engineered to contain 100% of fuel volume in the event of primary breach without soil contamination. |
| Rib Reinforcements | High-rigidity annular composite ribs designed to carry heavy soil overburden, high water table buoyancy, and traffic wheel loads. |
| Fuel Fittings & Manways | Flame-retardant manways, calibrated fuel gauge ports, submersible turbine pump (STP) connections, fill, vent, and return fittings. |
Standard configuration for retail service stations, underground burial, and skid-mounted above-ground backup systems.
Optimized for compact generator plant rooms, rooftop fuel supply, and facilities with tight footprints.
Unlike carbon steel tanks, FRP tanks are completely non-corrosive both internally and externally. They never require sacrificial anodes, protective wrapping, or cathodic protection monitoring against saline groundwater or aggressive desert soils, significantly eliminating long-term maintenance costs.
The interstitial chamber is the sealed annular space between the inner and outer tank walls. Sensors positioned in this zone continuously monitor vacuum, pressure, or liquid presence, giving immediate audible and digital alarms before any fuel can escape into the surrounding environment.
Yes. We manufacture both above-ground and underground fuel tanks. Above-ground models are produced with heavy UV-resistant topcoats, fire-retardant resins, and heavy structural saddle cradles for concrete foundation pads.
We provide full customization including 24-inch or 30-inch access manways, fuel level transmitters, overflow alarms, interstitial monitoring risers, suction pipes with foot valves, vent pipes with flame arrestors, and polyurethane insulation.
