ABSTRACT:
A tank stabilizer (6, 50) for an above ground liquid storage tank (8) of the type having one or more bottom supports or skids (10) to support the tank a distance above a support surface (16). The tank stabilizer includes lateral supports (20,56), preferably trough-like or U-shaped structures, which are secured to the support surface and configured so the bottom supports fits snugly therein. The tank stabilizer restricts horizontal movement of the tank relative to the support surface during an earthquake. The tank stabilizer may include an upwardly extending liquid barrier (34) circumscribing the lateral supports to help contain any spills or leaks.
