Material
The Custom Fiberglass Products tank shall be constructed of glass reinforced
solid laminated plastic, the ultimate insurance against possible leaks. The
durable material requires no maintenance, is lighter in weight than steel or
aluminum This material used is high-impact resistant wax free polyester resin.
Shell
Shell is one piece seamless female vertical wall molded with all exterior
longitudinal corners having 1" radius depending on tank gallonage. All 1/2"
or more floor with 3/8" or more bulkheads and sides reinforced and tested
for integrity and ZERO leakage. Outside flange design for fully removable lid
design. Exterior is white in color.
An outside flange or optional recessed flange design is used to eliminate water contact with the stainless steel bolts. The recessed flange makes the outside of the tank even with the outside tank walls and allows clean placement within the body panels. These flange sections add extensive reinforcement rigidity and strength to the structure.
Baffles
Baffle partitions shall be constructed of reinforced 5/16" or more POL-E
material. Main baffle partition shall be a one piece design and extend from
front to rear of the tank. All baffle partitions are reinforced and integrated

minimum surging, and to comply with NFPA 1901. Main baffle shall be reinforced
to tank walls, floor and lid.
Fully Removable Lid
The lid shall be a bolt down fully removable and designed to allow full
access to the tank. Lid will be 5/16" or more composite laminate reinforced
construction. Lid is bolted in place with stainless steel bolts, with no part
of the bolts making contact with the tanks contents. Bolts are located on 4"
centers around full lid perimeter and transverse baffle on 8" centers.
Lid is sealed with a full perimeter closed cell neoprene gasket. Exterior is
red in color.

deflector bonded to the back side to direct pressure away from partitions and
reduce agitation.
Air Vent/Overflow
There shall be an air escape venting in the tank to allow maximum fill capacity
should the vehicle be parked on unlevel ground.
Sump
A sump will be located to suit the design. The suction connection plumbed
in with 4" ID oversized pipe. An anti-swirl baffle that functions like
a low level strainer is installed to insure the strong non-cavitating operation
