Nordstone | Fuel & Oil Storage Tanks

Introduction

Fuel and oil storage tanks are specialized vessels designed to safely store flammable and combustible liquids, ensuring operational continuity, process efficiency, and regulatory compliance. At NORDSTONE., we design and manufacture robust, ASME/BIS-compliant Fuel & Oil Storage Tanks for industrial plants, power generation, refineries, and commercial facilities.

Our tanks are engineered to provide safe, leak-proof, and reliable storage — with options for aboveground, underground, skid-mounted, and modular installations. Capacities, materials, linings, and instrumentation are customizable to match project requirements and applicable standards.

What we deliver

NORDSTONE. supplies turnkey storage solutions including design, fabrication, coating/lining, testing, documentation, and third-party inspection support — all backed by material traceability and compliance with NFPA, API, BIS and IS standards.

Typical offerings include:

Aboveground and underground diesel, fuel, oil, and crude storage tanks
Skid-mounted day tanks and modular storage units
Heat-traced furnace oil tanks and insulated solutions
Epoxy/polyurethane/phenolic linings and corrosion protection systems
Instrumentation: level gauges, flow meters, temperature sensors, leak detection

Types of Fuel & Oil Storage Tanks
