ABSTRACT:
An above-ground flammable fluid containment apparatus and method are provided. The apparatus preferably has a primary fluid container for positioning flammable fluid therein and a secondary container having a bottom and a plurality of walls connected to and extending upwardly from the bottom so as to define an inner chamber. The plurality of walls include front and rear walls and a plurality of side walls connected to and extending between the front and rear walls. The secondary container has at least portions of the primary fluid container positioned within the inner chamber so that outer surfaces of the primary fluid container and inner surfaces of the secondary container define an interstitial space. A a weather shielding cover overlies and connects to upper end portions of the primary fluid container and the secondary container for enclosing the primary fluid container and for shielding the primary fluid container from exposure to various environmental conditions. The weather shielding cover is preferably mounted to the secondary container so that air can readily flow through respective front and rear openings of the apparatus into the interstitial space surrounding the primary container to thereby cool the primary container. The front and rear openings are respectively defined by upper end peripheries of the front and rear walls of the secondary container and lower end peripheries of the weather shielding cover.
