When it comes to underground fuel storage, choosing the right tank is crucial for both performance and long-term reliability. At Eaton Sales & Service, we’re proud to manufacture the TITAN® underground steel fuel storage tank, a solution that outperforms fiberglass tanks in several key areas. Designed with advanced materials and engineered to the highest standards, the TITAN tank provides unbeatable durability, cost savings, and safety.
Engineered for Durability
The TITAN tank features a double-wall construction with an inner shell made from high-strength steel, providing exceptional structural integrity. Unlike fiberglass tanks, which can be prone to cracking under stress, steel offers superior resistance to impact and environmental conditions. The steel inner shell is then protected by a mylar layer, which serves as a barrier against corrosion, ensuring the tank’s longevity. Finally, the tank is encased in a polyethylene outer shell with UV protection, adding an additional layer of defense against the elements.
No Pea Gravel Backfill Required
One of the standout benefits of the TITAN tank is that it does not require pea gravel backfill, which is commonly needed with fiberglass tanks. This means reduced installation costs and faster deployment. Pea gravel can add complexity and expense to a project, and by eliminating this requirement, the TITAN tank offers significant savings in both labor and materials.
DID YOU KNOW?
Not needing pea gravel backfill can equate to between 35% to 70% in savings in the backfill cost of a typical two tank burial.
Eliminating the Need for Cathodic Protection
Another advantage of the TITAN tank is its ability to forgo cathodic protection. While fiberglass tanks may require this additional corrosion protection system, the TITAN’s advanced design—with its robust steel interior and non-corrosive polyethylene outer shell—makes cathodic protection unnecessary. This further reduces both the installation and long-term maintenance costs, giving you a more economical and efficient solution.
Highly Compatibility
Steel is very compatible with refined fuels, like peanut butter and jelly. Through the years fiberglass has had to change their resin to stand up to the new refined fuels. Steel has stood the test of time.
Flexible Sizing to Meet Your Needs
The TITAN tank is available in a wide range of sizes to suit any application, with capacities ranging from 560 up to 50,000 gallons. This flexibility allows for customized storage solutions, whether you’re fueling a small business or a large commercial operation.
Uncompromising Safety and Compliance
Safety is a top priority in fuel storage, and the TITAN tank excels in this area. The double-wall design ensures secondary containment in the event of a breach, preventing leaks and protecting the environment. Additionally, the polyethylene outer layer provides UV protection, ensuring that the tank remains durable and functional even in harsh outdoor conditions. These features make the TITAN tank an excellent choice for long-term reliability and environmental compliance.
A Smart Investment in Fuel Storage
For businesses looking to invest in underground fuel storage, the TITAN underground steel Fuel Storage Tank offers a superior alternative to fiberglass options. With its steel durability, lower installation costs, and reduced maintenance requirements, it’s a smart choice for anyone looking to maximize efficiency and protect their investment.
