5e. Steel Tank Institute <br /> °?"" Steel Plate Fabricators Association <br /> May 19, 2009 <br /> Laura Fisher <br /> California State Water Control Board <br /> Re: Biodiesel Storage <br /> Dear Laura: <br /> As per your request, I am attaching a list of steel tank manufacturers that I am aware of <br /> that currently sell steel underground tanks in California. I'm still checking to see if there <br /> are other tank manufacturers that previously sold USTs in CA. <br /> Steel Tank Institute conducted a cooperative research project with other parties on the <br /> compatibility of steel with biodiesel. Steel was tested with various blends of biodiesel <br /> ranging from 0 to 100%. The conclusion of the study is that steel is compatible with <br /> biodiesel blends and that biodiesel can be stored in any steel storage tank. Please let me <br /> know if you would like any additional copies of the study. Copies are also available through <br /> the STI website at www.steeltank.com. <br /> Please let me know if you need additional information. Thank you for informing us of this <br /> new requirement. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Lorri Grainawi <br /> Director of Technical Services <br /> Divisions of STI/SPFA • 944 Donata Court • Lake Zurich, IL 60047 . <br /> • 847/438-8265 x 244 • Fax: 847/438-8766 • Igrainawi@steeltank.com • <br /> www.steeltank.com <br />
