FARM TANKS

FARM TANKS

tank terminals
Farm skid tanks are a Non UL version of our UL142 listed tanks. The only difference between the two styles is that the non-UL listed tank contains only three 2″ threaded openings on the top centerline of the tank. These openings are usually used for a pump, fill cap and level gauge. You won’t find thinner material or weak unreliable skids on our farm skid tanks. We even take a farm skid tank seriously! You will find the same material thickness in the shell, heads and the full length box skids as a UL listed tank. Farm skid tanks are stocked in capacities from 150 gallons up to 2,000 gallons. Larger sizes are available upon request. Contact us today to discuss your farm tank needs.

Ethanol storage tanks

Ethanol storage tanks

tank terminals
Ethanol storage tanks is an alcohol-like substance that is produced from corn, sugar cane and other farm grown plants. Ethanol reduces our dependency on foreign petroleum imports and reduces air emissions by helping gasoline burn cleaner. The technology for storing and dispensing gasoline can be applied to alcohol fuels such as E85 because alcohols and alcohol blends, like gasoline, are liquid fuels at ambient pressures and temperatures. However, only E85-compatible materials should be used in the storage and dispensing systems. Most operating problems with ethanol-fueled vehicles have been traced to contaminated fuel. Consequently, choosing the right materials for fuel storage and dispensing systems and following proper fuel handling procedures are crucial for successfully operating ethanol-fueled vehicles. Available sizes can be found on our double wall tanks page. WDS can build your ethanol storage…
