[fatboy]

Gentlemen, ...and I'm using the Term Loosely,
Have a site , Just installed (1) Xerxes DblWall 30k UST , w/Deadmen, 12ft. Diam./Ballasted (w/Water.Approx. 9'.2"), Approx. 3'.0" pea gravel cover, 8" #304 (tamped w/sled), 8"-10" reinforced concrete (w/Bridgebar , Hvy Traffic pad) @ Hospital Location. My Question is site won't be removing water and adding #2 Diesel Fuel/System (Never Purged), Until Spring of 2016. Any foreseeable problems , ie: Freezing/Damage to UST over Winter Any Special Preparation overlooked/needed Experienced Installers only need reply.

You might want to ask Xerxes. It's hard to think an underground double wall tank would get cold enough to freeze solid. But then I said that about my toilet up at the lake last year. I guess you could add 50 or 100 pounds of salt. Or call the local water company as they probably know and have some interest in what subgrade ground temperatures average in the areas serviced.

We have a site in Michigan that is going to do the same thing that you are discussing. I would at least get the Veeder Root installed. This will allow you to monitor the temperature and levels for changes/problems.

Checked with Xerxes (OEM), with current Deep burial depth, and sufficient cover, apparently we should be ok. Not Xerxes "First Rodeo" !!

Thanks Guys for the Responses, apparently alotta "Wind" anymore on this Forum when it comes to " S*** or get off the pot, issues !
