Environmental concerns are now the main drivers in the design of fuel tanks after manufacturers have in recent years come under pressure from legislation to make tanks that can withstand higher impact and pressure.
This has sparked the emergence of more creative solutions for fuel tanks involving the technology and architecture as well as the introduction of more complex shapes.

Bunded Fuel Storage Tanks
During a time in which we are becoming increasingly concerned with the issue of protecting the environment, everybody is looking for a way to do their bit to help solve this global problem.
Industrial storage solutions are no exception to this. The most modern bunded storage tanks combine the environmental benefits of integral bunding with the latest in storage tank and dispense technology. These storage tanks, generally made from steel are a revolutionary design for the safe, secure and environmentally responsible storage of fuel. They provide excellent protection against potential hazardous leaks and spills.

Storage Tanks
Storage Tanks are containers for holding liquids or compressed gases.
Most types of storage tank are pressure-less. Tank storage can be above ground or below ground. They can be designed virtually any size or shape and can be open-topped or closed. They can also be of single or double walled construction.
A storage tank can be anufactured in a wide range of materials such as glass or reinforced plastic. Tanks can be manufacutured to customers requirements and can be adapted in many ways.
In 2005 a massive explosion in Hertfordshire caused hundreds of millions of pounds worth of damage, and 40 people where injured. The blast was caused by fuel over flowing from a storage tank.
In the recent report done of the site , it was till classed as 'High Risk' of a major environmental accident. 5 other sites have been checked and have all been dubed as 'high risk' the companies which run the sites have until Tuesday to submit plans for how they will bring standards up to scratch.
