With so many models on the market, it can be difficult to choose the right tank for your needs.
Beyond the differences in capacity, the main factor to consider is the material used to manufacture the tank: polyethylene or steel.
Polyethylene tanks, being less durable, are generally preferred by individuals for small storage volumes, while steel tanks, which are more robust, are better suited to professionals for larger storage and supply needs.
Polyethylene tanks
Polyethylene tanks are often chosen by individuals because they require a smaller financial investment. They are lighter thanks to their smaller storage capacity, making them easier to handle than a steel storage tank.
However, polyethylene storage tanks are less durable and more fragile due to the material used in their manufacture.
Steel tanks
Often more expensive than polyethylene tanks, steel tanks are used when safety, durability, and consumption are important factors. Mainly used by businesses, they are known for being strong and long-lasting.
It’s important to know that a steel storage tank must have a double wall for added safety, as well as a leak detector, vent, and fill limiter.
