Re: diesel pipe dope thread sealant

Now I'm being told to use Permatex 80045. Does anyone else have experience with this sealant? Gasoila PLS2 has not being doing the job with diesel reportedly?

Marijuana Farm and Non-Compliant Tank Installations, oh my!

SPCC violations, let me count the ways! These are the worst tank photos I've seen in a long while.

Re: breakaway separation no drive off or external force

Agree with Zane, it could be a pressure issue. I am also wondering if there is too much tension on the hose from the hose retractor assembly. I found an old manual here's a link with instructions on how to adjust the tension if that is part of the issue https://www.dropbox.com/s/5iec4lq6zirpmkw/Pome...

Re: breakaway separation no drive off or external force

Our company uses this type of set-up frequently. I'm not sure what's happening, but I have few questions for you to help diagnose the issue-

Yep! Google alerts are very helpful.
This one came from the "fuel storage tank" term.

Re: Corrosion Issue Symptoms or Solutions

https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2016-07/documents/notice-dieseltanks-corrosion-7-14-16_0.pdf EPA recommends that owners of underground storage tank (UST) systems storing diesel fuel check inside their tanks for corrosion. This is a bit simplistic, but maybe keep a copy of this flyer (from EP...
