Underground Fuel Tanks
Xerxes underground fuel tanks, made from premium fiberglass, offer long-term, secure fuel storage with built-in corrosion resistance. Unlike steel tanks, which require protective coatings, these fiberglass tanks naturally resist corrosion both inside and out due to their high-grade resin and glass-fiber reinforcement. With compatibility across a wide range of fuels, including ethanol-blended and biodiesel, they provide a reliable, maintenance-friendly solution for fuel storage.
Designed with strength and efficiency in mind, Xerxes tanks feature a robust cylindrical structure with reinforced fiberglass ribs and multicompartment options for storing multiple fuel types in a space-saving configuration.
Important Features
Corrosion Resistance Without Coatings
Made with 100% premium resin and glass-fiber reinforcement, Xerxes fiberglass tanks resist internal and external corrosion naturally. This eliminates the need for additional protective linings and ensures long-lasting protection against the stored product and surrounding soil.
Structural Strength and Durability
Xerxes tanks feature a cylindrical design with rounded end caps and fiberglass ribs that mimic the support of I-beams, providing optimal strength for underground storage. The walls are bonded with patented 3D Parabeam® glass fabric for added structural integrity and resistance to heavy loads.
Multifuel Compatibility
Fiberglass construction makes Xerxes tanks compatible with ethanol-blended fuels, biodiesel, DEF, and ultra-low sulfur diesel. Unlike steel, which can corrode when exposed to these fuels, fiberglass ensures safe, long-term storage without degradation.
Space and Cost Efficiency with Multicompartment Tanks
Xerxes multicompartment tanks allow for efficient storage of multiple fuel types in a single tank. This design reduces costs related to transportation, installation, insurance, and permitting, offering a cost-effective alternative to installing separate tanks. The built-in double-wall fiberglass bulkhead enhances durability without the need for expensive upgrades.
