The program described herein has been implemented by several companies that operate a large number of tanks. When asked about their results from this program, they were in agreement that significant savings were realized by extending the internal inspections of tanks found to be in good condition. Likewise, tank failures have been averted because problem tanks were identified and taken out of service before a failure occurred. While this second scenario is hard to put a dollar amount on, it is safe to say the savings were extensive.
