A fueling facility in Tanknology’s Southeast region requested a TankCam® inspection of a 12,000 gallon steel tank to inspect for undesirable conditions or abnormal operating conditions. The tank held regular unleaded and had been cleaned by a competitor two weeks prior to the TankCam inspection.

The inspection found a considerable amount of sludge on the tank bottom and active leaks at the boots in the STP sump. The TankCam inspection also showed that the fill adapter on the tank was set too high and and was cross-threaded, which allowed additional water into the tank. The secondary piping was found to be full of water.

After the TankCam inspection, the customer requested a TankClean Remote Video Cleaning of the tank.

TankCam® video inspection services from Tanknology help you detect UST problems with no need for excavation or manned entry. TankCam is patent pending.
