ABSTRACT:
A fire safe and projectile resistant container for storage of fuel or other hazardous liquids having a closed metallic horizontal cylindrical vessel with opposed end walls. Ceramic fiber blanket surrounds and fully encapsulates the horizontal metallic vessel and end walls. The ceramic fiber blanket has a thickness of at least about 4" and is formed of fibers of alumina-silica that occurs naturally as kaolin. The ceramic fiber blanket has a melting point of at least about 3200.degree. F. and a density of 3 to 12 pounds per cubic feet. The vessel encapsulated with the ceramic fiber blanket is supported by spaced apart saddle members. A closed metallic shell surrounds the vessel, the ceramic fiber blanket, and the saddle members and is supported on skids. The ceramic fiber blanket serves to provide fire resistance as well as resistance against penetration of the vessel by pistol or rifle fired projectiles. The shell forms a secondary containment vessel. A conduit communicating between a lower portion of the shell and the exterior thereof provides means for detecting any leakage that might occur from the vessel.
