As title. Can diesel be stored in fiberglass storage tanks? I hope you experts can answer it!
Anyone who knows can tell me? Our company wants to build a diesel spray tower to absorb exhaust gas
Yes, some vinyl resins made individually can withstand diesel fuel at 80-90°C. This is clearly stated in their vinyl resin application guide. :L I am afraid that someone will say that I am advertising, but if you really want to know, just send me a message and I will tell you which product is specific.
Of course, you can use fiberglass storage tanks. I make fiberglass storage tanks. Please contact me for details!
Generally speaking, it is possible, but the choice of resin should be determined according to your specific usage conditions. You can send your usage conditions to a regular resin manufacturer with certain technical capabilities and let them make a judgment for you.
Diesel has strong solubility and penetrating ability. If you make a small tank, you can consider it. Large tanks are more troublesome and always feel unsafe. This is flammable and explosive material!
It can be stored in FRP storage tanks. Our company’s diesel is stored in FRP storage tanks. But as mentioned on the 4th floor, please pay attention to safety during use.
It is best to use steel containers and oil tanks. Even if there is no dissolution problem with fiberglass, the cost is not low, and construction and modification are troublesome.
Personally, I don’t think so. Static electricity will be generated during storage and transportation, and storage tanks are made of non-conductive materials and cannot release static electricity. There will be great safety risks. Furthermore, according to the pressure vessel standards, it seems that this is not possible. Every pressure vessel has to be registered.
