ABSTRACT:
A fuel tank for a propane fuel tank includes an electrically insulative covering positioned in place over substantially the entire exposed surface of the tank to prevent transmission of electric current through the tank by contact of the tank with a source of current. The insulation on the tank also prevents penetration of the tank by arcing of electric current from a spaced apart current source and the tank. The fuel tank is cylindrical and the covering comprises an eight mil thick seamless tube of polyethylene secured by heat shrinking to the outer surfaces of the cylindrical tank. The method according to the invention comprises providing an electrically insulative material, placing the insulative material over the outer surfaces of the tank and bonding the insulative material to the outer surface of the tank.
