Fuel Storage Tanks
Kosco provides new tanks, replacement tanks and provides tank
remediation services for home and commercial uses.
A fuel storage tank can be an underground storage tank (UST) or an
above ground storage tank (AST).
Home Heating Oil Tanks
Home heating oil tanks can vary in size, from 275-gallons to over
1,000-gallons. The size of the tank is sometimes dependant on the age
of the house, the size of the house, and the homeowner’s
personal oil consumption. Kosco offers a full line of Granby Steel Tanks.
Granby Steel Tanks has been the leader in the manufacture and
distribution of steel tanks for the storage of petroleum products
since 1954. Offering a wide range of high-quality products that
respond to specific criteria of security, durability and reliability.
Underground Fuel Storage Tanks (UST's) and Oil Tank Removal
 UST
stands for Underground Storage Tank. A UST may contain petroleum
products or certain hazardous substances. A UST is defined as a tank
and any of its associated piping that has at least 10% of its
combined volume underground.
To perform a tank removal, the UST is uncovered, rendered free of
ignitable vapors, cut open and cleaned of all product and product
residue. The tank is then entered by a Kosco technician who visually
inspects the tank for breaches. Soil may also be extracted from the
perimeter of the UST by means of drilling through the UST and
extracting soil samples or by “geoprobing” around the UST
from the surface. If any contaminated soil is detected or breaches in
the tank are observed, the tank must be removed from the ground and
the site remediated. If no problems are observed with the UST, the
tank may be filled with sand or concrete slurry, depending on local
municipality regulations.
