Fuel storage tanks are an integral part of many industries, ensuring the safe and efficient storage of fuel for critical operations. However, over time, tanks face wear and tear, leading to corrosion, contamination, and structural issues. Proper tank maintenance—including cleaning, painting, and restoration—is crucial to extending the lifespan of your tanks and keeping your operations running smoothly.
At Don Wood Inc., we specialize in providing expert solutions for tank maintenance, interior and exterior cleaning, painting, and full restoration to keep your fueling systems in top condition. Here’s why maintaining your tanks should be a top priority and how we can help.
Why Tank Maintenance Matters
Neglecting fuel tank maintenance can lead to a variety of costly and potentially hazardous issues. Contaminated fuel, structural damage, and compliance violations are just a few of the risks that businesses face when tanks are not properly cared for. Regular maintenance ensures:
Fuel Quality & System Efficiency: Preventing contamination from rust, sludge, and debris.
Regulatory Compliance: Meeting industry standards such as EPA and UL-2085 requirements.
Extended Tank Lifespan: Reducing wear and corrosion through protective coatings and cleaning.
Safety & Environmental Protection: Preventing leaks and spills that could result in fines and costly cleanups.
Tank Cleaning: Inside and Out
Over time, tanks accumulate sediment, sludge, and microbial growth that can compromise fuel quality and clog systems. Regular cleaning is essential to maintaining efficiency and preventing equipment failure.
Interior Tank Cleaning:
Removes sludge, water, and contaminants that settle at the bottom of the tank.
Prevents microbial growth that can lead to fuel degradation.
Ensures compliance with fuel quality standards and environmental regulations.
Exterior Tank Cleaning:
Eliminates rust, dirt, and debris that can weaken tank integrity.
Prepares the surface for repainting and protective coatings.
Improves visual inspections by revealing hidden damage.
Tank Painting and Protective Coatings
Painting isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about protection and longevity. High-quality coatings shield tanks from corrosion, UV exposure, and extreme weather conditions.
Benefits of Tank Painting:
Protects against rust and corrosion.
Improves heat resistance and UV protection.
Enhances compliance with industry safety standards.
Extends the overall lifespan of the tank.
At Don Wood Inc., we use specialized coatings designed for fuel storage tanks, ensuring durability and compliance with environmental regulations.
Tank Restoration: Bringing Old Tanks Back to Life
If your tank is showing signs of severe wear, restoration can be a cost-effective alternative to replacement. Our tank restoration services include:
Surface preparation and corrosion removal.
Interior and exterior cleaning and re-coating.
Structural repairs and reinforcements.
Leak detection and sealing.
Restoring a tank instead of replacing it saves both time and money while maintaining safety and compliance.
