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.

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.
