Taking Measures for a Safer, Reliable Fuel Storage Option
For safer fuel storage, the Dallas Police department needs efficient reservoirs with polished concrete surface to charge up their vehicles. Spending on cleanup and maintenance of underground fuel tanks is complicated as well as expensive. Installing above ground fuel tanks is the most suitable option as it reduces yearly expenses and increases mobility. Furthermore, it also reduces the chances of leakage related accidents and minimizes corrosion.
Dallas Police Department is efficient and equipped with high-performance vehicles that require easy access to fuel recharge. To upgrade and supplant their fuel storage, Dallas PD chose METCO for mounting steel-made, corrosion-free fuel tanks above the ground.
