ABSTRACT:
A system and method for injecting gas or fluid in the base beneath an above ground storage tank to enhance the rate of any leakage in the bottom of the tank, and detecting and locating the leak by acoustic sensors placed about the tank. The leak may then be sealed by injecting sealant through a probe placed beneath the tank in the area of the leak.
