Keep Your Boat Safe by Protecting Your Fuel Storage System

In recent years, the ‘Tank Safe’ campaign was launched by the ABYC, urging boaters that use gas for running their vessel to check their boat gas tanks. This put forth the research that one in three tanks have crossed their maximum life expectancy and are susceptible to leaks.

It is recommended that generator tanks are checked once a year to make sure they are inspected for any ricks and here at Atlantic Coastal Welding, we’re committed to providing the highest standard of tank manufacturing for domestic and commercial applications across the US.

Although gas is intrinsically a flammable fuel, there are both environmental and fire related risks associated with the use of boat gas tanks. Our highly skilled and experienced technicians are able to provide the appropriate assessments, manufacturing, and maintenance of your tank to give you with the peace of mind that you require when using a gasoline tank.

All our engineers have been trained to comply with EPA standards, and therefore know how to approach each built with precision and expertise. We know that each project is different and we keep this in mind when understanding the possible effect of fuel spillage and the consequent risk of fire spread.

Fuel tank fires are extremely dangerous, regardless of the capacity of your tank. If stored correctly, gasoline is a very safe and efficient form of fuel to use when running a boat; however the risks that unprotected or damaged tanks pose are incredibly high.

The recent campaign to increase awareness of having generator tanks regularly serviced published in articles and stories. Oil tank can be a reason for a disaster if not tested and fabricated up to the standards. There are a few incidents that display a warning and prompt to educate people on the importance of proper fuel storage tanks.

To minimize the risks, you should ensure that a licensed technician examines the tank and fittings at least once a year for any leaks, damage, or defects.
