by Sean Healy, from the Community

Use this comprehensive tank inspection checklist to verify fuel storage and dispensing systems prior to dispatch or as part of 12-month preventative maintenance. Capture tank and product details such as diesel, AdBlue, and unleaded grades; check coatings, vents, fittings, interstitial space, gauges like VeederRoot, SmartDip, and EVO200, as well as pump bays, pipework, valves, and safety equipment. Record readings, note defects, and generate corrective actions to support compliance and safe operation.

Tank Inspection Checklist
This tank inspection checklist helps teams assess fuel storage and dispensing tanks before leaving the yard or during onsite preventive maintenance. Record customer and tank details, verify protective coatings, decals, earthing, fittings, vents, legs, and footings. Test for water and interstitial moisture, check pressure relief valves, dipstick accuracy, fuel on hand, and high-level alarms. Inspect pump bay doors, bund area, pipework, isolation valves, hoses, nozzles, and pump type. Capture serials for pumps, turbines, dispensers, and gauges (e.g., Veeder-Root, SmartDip). Verify meters, confirm gauging matches dipstick, and review safety equipment including ladders, walkways, fall and crash protection, and fire extinguishers. Note defects and trigger corrective actions.

PSU Monthly Aboveground Storage Tank Inspection Checklist
This monthly aboveground storage tank inspection checklist helps EHS and facilities teams verify tank integrity and compliance. Inspect tanks, coatings, piping, foundations, drains, supports, ladders, and safety gear for deterioration. Check for water in fuel tanks, liquid in interstitial spaces, secure valves and seals, clear and functional vents, clean spill baskets, readable level gauges, and any signs of leaks or releases. Confirm access paths, operational gates, available spill kits, and note any fire, safety, or environmental hazards. Address deficiencies promptly to maintain safe operations.

Fuel Tank Review Checklist
This fuel tank review template helps facilities document and manage on site fuel storage. Capture tank type such as above ground, underground, or integrated belly tank, fuel type and fuel oil grade, location and whether indoor or outdoor, and physical specifications including volume, materials, wall type, and insulation. Record manufacturer, serial and model numbers, TSSA CRN number if available, and image evidence. Assess leak detection, cathodic protection, bonding, spill containment integrity, and distance to sensitive water or drainage. Assign responsibility and note if fuel polishing is required.
