Warning: To install fuel storage tanks the
following checks must be
followed:
1. Location, dimension and safety of the area
where it is installed.

houses, animal shelters, electric installations,
places where there are welding equipments,
boilers, or others that may generate sparks,
blames or excessive heat.

electrically welded. Internally, the surface of

for fuel manipulation, this must be protected,
when not in use, from direct contact with fuel,
by a retention valve and register.
