  • Publication number: 20030019869
    Abstract: A containment vessel for a fuel tank comprises two-piece construction with a bottom-top or a left-right side orientation. These parts are rotationally molded with size and shape to receive a fuel oil tank. The two halves have annular flanges which bolt together for sealing the tank within. The top of the containment vessel provides a vented housing for enclosing fill, vent and furnace lines of the fuel oil tank. Heating tape may be provided to prevent freezing. Oil drips from degraded tank seams and from spills are captured within the vessel to prevent environmental damage.
