Double walled tanks offer many benefits over cylindrical and single skin tanks. With single skin tanks you have the additional expense of secondary containment that is needed to catch any spills or drips which can incur labor charges, as well as costing $150 for each pan to be cleaned out. Single skinned tanks also do not have forklift pockets or maneuverability around site or for offloading. These are just some of the reasons that single skinned tanks are slowly being replaced by double walled tanks.
Cylindrical tanks are typically singled skinned, and even if they are not, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will inspect them regardless. Cube double walled tanks are automatically EPA compliant. With cylindrical tanks, pumps and accessories are housed outside of the tank which makes them prone to theft. The cost of replacing the pump and accessories can be up to $1,000. They are also impacted by the out in the cold and rain which can shorten their lifespan.
