All,
I contacted one of my consultant buddies regarding underground
fuel tanks. Here's what he wrote:
"I'd hate to admit how many chemical storage tanks I've got under my belt,
none for gas though, and I'm never very involved in the resin corrosion
resistance selection.
Vinylester / glass is the norm for chemical tanks, depending on the type of
chemical they'll use vinylester with different additives. Goggle these and
you should find some info.
Dion Resin
Derakane Resin
Hetron Resin
AOC resin
A typical specification would have a corrosion barrier of about 0.100",
Then the structural laminate. The CB's first layer would be veil, like
'remay' usually a "spun-bound" polyester mat, very thin, about
0.010"basically just to hold resin, then two layers of 1.5oz mat (about
0.043" each), these layers are typically very resin rich to eliminate
migration paths along fibers, There are probably lighter ways of doing
this, these types of specs are very excepted for on ground or under ground
storage, "
Not specifically for gas, but I'm willing to be the basics will be the
same, primarily the vinylester resin.
