Aviation Tanks For Canberra Airport

FTS has just completed the manufacture of two 110,000 litre Glasteel Aviation Tanks for Canberra Airport to increase the storage capacity for fuel to service the growing number of aircraft that use the facility.
Aviation fuel requires stringent design, manufacturing and finishing specifications to ensure that the fuel is always clean and uncontaminated. The steel tanks have a special tank lining as well as a fibreglass outer jacket providing secondary containment and leak detection.

The picture above shows the special internal lining of the tank.
