AGI Westeel offers high-quality, shop-fabricated aboveground steel tanks designed to meet the demanding needs of the aviation industry. Built to store and dispense aviation fuels such as Jet A and Avgas, these tanks provide safe, reliable, and long-lasting solutions for both commercial and private aviation fueling operations.

Canadian Requirements for Aviation Fuel Storage Tanks

In Canada, aviation fuel storage tanks must comply with:

• Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs): These regulations mandate the use of certified equipment and proper fuel management to ensure quality and safety. Storage tanks must be designed to prevent contamination and maintain fuel integrity.
• CSA Standard B836: This standard provides detailed specifications for the construction, installation, and maintenance of storage tanks at aerodromes. Requirements include:
  • Tank Construction: Tanks must be fabricated from corrosion-resistant materials or lined with protective coatings such as epoxy, meeting EI-1541 requirements for internal protective coating.
  • Secondary Containment: Tanks must be equipped with containment systems to capture spills and leaks, minimizing environmental impact.
• Grounding and Bonding: To prevent static electricity buildup, tanks must have proper grounding and bonding systems.

U.S. Requirements for Aviation Fuel Storage Tanks

In the U.S., aviation fuel storage tanks must adhere to:

• EPA Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Regulations: Tanks must include secondary containment and meet specific design criteria to prevent fuel spills from reaching the environment.
• NFPA 30 and NFPA 407 Standards: These standards outline requirements for tank materials, fire prevention, and safe storage practices for flammable liquids. Tanks must be equipped with emergency shut-off valves and fire suppression systems to mitigate risks associated with aviation fuel storage.

Epoxy and Stainless Steel Linings: Essential for Fuel Integrity

Aviation fuels are highly refined but can be corrosive due to additives and environmental exposure. To protect the integrity of stored fuel and extend tank lifespan, our tanks feature on of:

• Epoxy Linings: High-performance, chemical-resistant coatings designed to withstand the corrosive nature of aviation fuels, providing an added layer of protection against rust, scaling, and contamination.
• Stainless Steel Linings: Premium corrosion resistance, especially in environments with harsh weather or high humidity. Stainless steel ensures clean fuel storage, reducing maintenance needs and the risk of fuel contamination.
