DEVELOPMENT OF A HASTY BULK FUEL STORAGE RESERVOIR.

Abstract

The report covers design, development, and engineer design tests of a 10,000-barrel and 2500-barrel hasty bulk fuel storage reservoir. The report concludes: (a) A 10,000-barrel reservoir tank can be produced to meet military requirements for a 1-year service life and is a suitable replacement for the 10,000-barrel bolted steel tank for that period of time; (b) the envelope type concept is superior to the cover-line concept; (c) design criteria must include water resistance of material and aromatic content of fuel to be stored; (d) field repair should be limited to the use of mechanical clamps; (e) a method of rainwater removal must be developed; (f) design shall incorporate covering exposed seam edges, inclusion of a nylon film diffusion barrier, and 5.0-oz fabric; (g) seam fabrication methods and quality control require improvement; (h) a composite coated fabric weight of 22 oz per square yard does not allow adequate coating coverage to meet service life requirement.
