Zusammenfassung:Fire resistant tank apparatus is adapted for transportation and for installation above-ground to receive and dispense a liquid hydrocarbon or hydrocarbons, or the like, and includes a metallic tank having a lightweight wall structure, including an upright side wall or walls, a top wall and a bottom wall; first port structure on the top wall defining access porting to the tank interior; second support beneath the bottom wall to support the tank at an installation site; and fire resistant synthetic resinous material applied as a coating to the outer side or sides of the tank walls, and hardened to define a relatively lightweight shell enclosing the tank, the shell extending into adjacency with the first and second structures, the shell having thickness between about 1/4 inch and 1 inch.
