Abstract

The present invention is a containment tank or a generator set including an outer tank and an inner flexible tank that offers a storage area for diesel fuel for a diesel engine powered generator set. So that the generator set diesel engine have ready source of clean diesel fuel the inner flexible tank provides a corrosion-free storage area that will not corrode or contaminate the diesel fuel. The outer tank is designed to provide a structure that not only protects the inner tank from damage, but acts as a support structure for the diesel engine generator set and other components (enclosure, switchgear, etc.) that are needed for the generator sets protection from wind, rain or snow or to act as control devices for diesel engine generator set. Also, since the design of the inner tank is flexible, it can be replaced easily through a manway formed on the outer tank without having to disconnect or disassemble the generator set.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to storage tanks, and more particularly to storage tanks with redundant containment structures for containing hazardous materials.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Storage tanks are used throughout the world for a variety of purposes. One of the more significant uses for tanks of this type is for the containment of fuels for use at the location of the tanks, such as to store diesel fuel for emergency power diesel engine generator sets. With hazardous materials such as fuels, it is necessary to provide certain safeguards for the storage tanks to protect the environment from a tank leak. These safeguards are normally the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction that necessitate these tanks have the capability for secondary containment of any liquid that could leak from the primary or inner tank.

[0003] As best shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an example of a prior art containment tank 10 on which can be mounted a generator 1000, a...
