\n\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tWhat do I do with the Certificate of Installation?\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tReturn the completed Certificate signed and dated to the Plasteel\u00ae<\/sup> Tank\u00a0 manufacturer. Upon receipt of Certificate, the Plasteel\u00ae<\/sup> Tank manufacturer will issue the Limited Plasteel\u00ae<\/sup> Tank Warranty to the tank owner.
\n\t\t<\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tDo I need additional corrosion protection such as a Cathodic Protection system or electrical isolation devices when installing a UL Listed Plasteel\u00ae tank?\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tNo. The Plasteel\u00ae Elutron\u00ae FRP Jacketed Tank and Plasteel Composite\u00ae Double Wall Tank do not require Cathodic protection or other isolation devices. Plasteel\u00ae Tanks are UL Tested and Listed per UL Standard 1746, Part II (Composite) and Part III (Jacketed). UL does not evaluate or test composite tanks and jacketed tanks with cathodic protection and\/or isolation devices. The UL Listed Plasteel\u00ae FRP laminate is a stand alone corrosion protection system that completely encapsulates and isolates the inner steel tank from exterior corrosion.\t\t<\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tWhat are the Roark Equation and External Pressure Test (EPT) about?\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tThe Roark Equation is the UL specified formula for calculating the minimum steel thickness of the tank\u2019s primary (inner) shell.<\/p>\n

The EPT is an optional performance test to validate an interior (primary) tank stiffener system. The primary tank shell thickness may be reduced a maximum of 25 % from the calculated Roark Equation thickness if the stiffener system has been UL PerformanceTested and Listed.<\/p>\n

Plasteel International Inc. has a UL Tested and Listed Stiffener System. With the UL Stiffener System, Plasteel\u00ae Tanks will not buckle when submerged, without backfill, in water at a depth of 5 feet (1.53m).<\/p>\n

Consult the Plasteel\u00ae Tank manufacturer regarding the stiffener design for your Plasteel\u00ae Tanks.\t\t<\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tHow do UL Listed Plasteel\u00ae tanks compare to UL Listed Non-Metallic or FiberGlass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) tanks?\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tPlasteel\u00ae Tanks and FRP tanks are both UL Tested and Listed for structural performance and corrosion protection. Plasteel\u00ae Tanks compared to FRP tanks have a significant cost advantage in the UST installation process. Please go to the Product Comparison link for cost advantages when installing the Plasteel\u00ae Tank Technology.\t\t<\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tIs a UL Listed Plasteel\u00ae tank compatible with 85% Ethanol (E-85) and other alternative fuels?\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tYes. Plasteel\u00ae Tanks are compatible with 85% ethanol (E-85) and other blends of ethanol and methanol up to 100%. Plasteel\u00ae Tanks are also compatible with all biodiesel blends (B5-B100).\t\t<\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tIs a UL Listed Plasteel\u00ae Double Wall tank compatible with continuous interstitial vacuum monitoring?\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tYes. Plasteel\u00ae Elutron\u00ae and Plasteel Composite\u00ae Double Wall Tanks are compatible with continuous interstitial vacuum monitoring systems.\t\t<\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tHow do I choose a compatible secondary containment tank sump?\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tThe sump must have a compatible design to attach to the Plasteel\u00aeTank top. You must consult with the Plasteel\u00ae Tank manufacturer to determine if the specified tank sump requires the installation of a sump attachment collar in the factory. The Plasteel\u00ae Tank manufacturer can provide a Plasteel\u00ae FRP composite collar welded to the tank top or an FRP collar fiberglassed onto the tank top.\t\t<\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tTypically, which product safety standards are required for regulatory compliance by each Plasteel\u00ae Licensee?\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tUnderwriters Laboratories Inc. Standard for Steel Underground Tanks for Flammable and Combustible Liquids (UL Standard 58) and UL Standard for External Corrosion Protection Systems for Steel Underground Storage Tanks (UL Standard 1746).\t\t<\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tHow do I establish \u201cCredit Terms\u201d with a Plasteel\u00ae Licensee?\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tYou must contact the Plasteel\u00ae Tank manufacturer directly. Each Licensed Plasteel\u00ae Tank manufacturer is independently owned and has a specific company policy for establishing credit terms.\t\t<\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tDoes a Plasteel\u00ae Licensee have any restrictions on sales and shipments of Plasteel\u00ae tanks?\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tThere are no geographical restrictions for the sale or shipment of Plasteel\u00ae Tanks.\t\t<\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tWhere is the U.L. Listing Label actually located on Plasteel\u00ae tanks?\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tThe UL Listing Label will be affixed on the tank top longitudinal centerline. If the tank has an open bottom containment sump, the UL Label could be affixed inside the sump attachment collar. This would provide direct access to the UL Label from grade level after the tank is installed.\t\t<\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tHow do I obtain a calibration chart for a Plasteel\u00ae tank?\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tContact the Plasteel\u00ae<\/sup> Tank manufacturer for the calibrated chart. You must provide the primary (inner) tank inside diameter and inside length to create an accurately calibrated chart. If you have these dimensions, you may create and print the chart using the Tank Calibration Charts link on the Data Finder<\/a> link on this website.\t\t<\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tCan I specify a Plasteel\u00ae Elutron\u00ae FRP Jacketed Tank with dished heads?\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tYes. Plasteel\u00ae Tank manufacturers can accommodate this request.\t\t<\/div>\n
