There are various standards and regulations set by the federal agencies and relevant organizations regarding the designing and manufacturing of non-integral or customized aluminum fuel tanks. Apart from several regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), there are a number of rules related to boating safety. Though there are plenty of manufacturers who build marine fuel tanks but not all of them bother or understand the EPA regulations.
Atlantic Coastal Welding is a reputed company that manufactures EPA standards marine gas tanks, generator tanks, and also works on water jet projects. To ensure that our customers stay safe and persuasive throughout their cruising, we made it mandatory at our factory for technicians to comply with all necessary regulations and maintain the highest standards of workmanship.
The fuel tanks we manufacture are secured by these necessities and proposed for the fixed establishment with deck fill arrangement and for changeless establishment as per the relevant establishment prerequisites of U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Safety Standards.
In addition to USCG requirements, we take the American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) standards for design, construction, and repairs for recreational boats seriously.
For quite some time, steel was favored to be the best material for building boat tanks but it didn't remain too long. But nowadays stainless steel has become a preferred choice along with aluminum for building fuel tanks. Because stainless steel is relatively stronger and doesn’t corrode or rust, it is also one of the materials we specialize using while manufacturing generator tanks.
Most of the boat fuel tanks last around 15 to 20 years if cared for and maintained well by the owner. If your tank seems rusted, leaky, or less capable of holding a larger volume of fuel, it might be the right time to call us for EPA standards marine gas tanks.
We also sell installation materials that include filling hoses, connectors, shut off valves, mechanical sending units, and other important components. If you’re unsure about how to eliminate your old deteriorated tank or how to install a new one, you may contact us for solid advice from professional and polite staff.
