Storage tanks are available in steel, plastic and fibreglass and many of the plastic options are cheaper than steel. This article explains why steel is the best choice.
It is good to know that a steel tank is an environmentally-friendly choice. Steel is 100% recyclable and often made from salvaged scrap, greatly reducing its environmental footprint. Another reason it is environmentally friendly is that steel is hard to damage, reducing the risk that of a leak into the surrounding environment. A damaged plastic tank will fail catastrophically, whereas a steel tank will not, allowing valuable time to prevent any pollution from spreading.
Unfortunately, with the rise in the cost of fuel, it has become a target for theft. Thieves will always steal from the easiest and quickest option so tend to target plastic tanks. A well designed Blake Group fuel dispensing steel tank is very difficult to break into so can save you money in the long run. Steel tanks are also less likely to be damaged by vandalism.
A steel storage tank is not only long-lasting and highly durable but can look great too. With a wide range of colours and paint finishes, your steel tank will look new for many years.
With steel requiring very little maintenance and having such a long lifespan, the cost over the life of the tank is often actually lower than that of other materials such as plastic.
