Fiberglass is the superior material for underground fuel tanks

Sign up to learn more about ZCL | Xerxes

Today’s biofuels and ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) are causing significant concerns about metallic corrosion of fuel system components, including the internal corrosion of steel storage tanks. In contrast, fiberglass underground storage tanks are corrosion-resistant inside and out, ensuring lasting durability and longer material lifecycles.
