ABSTRACT:
A storage tank system especially useful for storing liquid gasoline comprises a rigid inner storage tank, access lines extending through the tank, a sleeve encompassing the access lines, a jacket encasing the tank and at least part of the sleeve, and a drip sump compartment positioned on a sleeve cover to the sleeve to catch drippings from a fill operation. A leak detector is associated with the closed space between the inner tank and jacket to detect leaks. The system results in a storage facility which is not likely to lose its stored liquid to the environment due to slow leak or a sudden large leak by providing total containment capability.
