i • • <br /> Why our tanks are your best investment. <br /> The fiberglass underground storage tank owes its very existence <br /> to the shortcomings of steel tanks — and their resulting <br /> environmental problems. <br /> In the early 1960's, the American Petroleum Institute challenged us <br /> (we were then known as the Special Products Division of Owens-Corning) <br /> to develop a rustproof underground storage tank <br /> - .•- that would be safe and strong enough to <br /> satisfy the petroleum industry's most <br /> stringent long-term storage demands. <br /> Our engineers accepted the challenge <br /> and pioneered the underground <br /> fiberglass tank technology.The major <br /> oil companies responded to our <br /> achievement by specifying fiberglass <br /> tanks for approximately 90% of their <br /> underground fuel storage installations. <br /> Their keen awareness of the limitations of a <br /> steel tank in a corrosive environment and their confidence in fiberglass <br /> Contents tank technology helped us earn a reputation for safe, rust-free, long-term <br /> underground storage in approximately 250,000 installations over the <br /> last 30 years. <br /> Advantages . ,.,,. .', <br /> ManufacturingAlong the way, we've earned a leadership position in this industry. <br /> Processes ..... ....................4 Our pioneering design work resulted in the UL 1316 specification which <br /> governs fiberglass tank manufacturing. <br /> Research & <br /> Development .
