1
Choose the Right Storage Location
- Site should be high, dry, and well-ventilated, away from fire sources, heat sources, and flammable/explosive materials
- Protected from direct sunlight with flat and hard ground that has good drainage
- Prevents rainwater from soaking the tank and causing corrosion
- Away from densely populated areas and underground pipelines
- Sufficient maintenance and emergency space for safety and compliance
- Minimizes the impact of the external environment on the tank
2
Ensure Proper Tank Sealing
- Check the tank's sealing performance before storage
- Ensure that valves and interfaces are tightly sealed
- Close all inlet and outlet valves to prevent fuel evaporation or impurity entry
- Regularly check the double-wall gap sealing and monitoring system
- Ensure monitoring equipment is functioning properly
- Promptly identify and address any potential leaks
- For extended storage, seal the tank to prevent moisture and impurities
3
Standardize Fuel Storage Management
- Stored fuel must meet the tank's rated capacity
- Avoid overloading and excessive pressure
- Allow sufficient expansion space to cope with temperature changes
- Do not mix different types of fuel to prevent chemical reactions
- Regularly test fuel quality and promptly remove sediment and impurities
- Prevent accumulation and corrosion of the tank's interior
- Maintain accurate storage records, tracking fuel storage time and condition
- Prioritize the use of fuels with longer storage times
4
Strengthen Regular Inspection & Maintenance
- Regularly inspect the tank's exterior for integrity of the anti-corrosion layer
- Check for damage, peeling, rust, etc.
- Monitor the operating status of monitoring systems, valves, and interfaces
- Promptly replace aged seals and damaged parts
- Regularly clean debris around the tank and maintain good ventilation
- Take measures to prevent rain and moisture during rainy season
- Implement protection against freezing during winter
- Perform periodic maintenance according to the user manual
