FAQs
Curious about Assmann storage solutions? Listed below are the most common questions about our Full Drain Outlet (FDO) Storage Tanks. If you have additional questions about your next polyethylene storage tank, contact our experts.
What is the recommended pad height and material?
We recommend a minimum pad height of 8” for use with our FDO tanks. Contact us for detailed drawings for installation. With the right facility conditions, we offer a modular polyethylene tank pad installation to reduce costs.
Will my tank have maximum drainage?
Assmann Full Drain Outlet (FDO) connection is installed flush to the tank bottom, designed to give maximum drainage on a vertical flat-bottom storage tank. You could have a minimum heel of liquid left in the tank due to the tank being flat-bottomed (not sloped).
Do I need to drain completely before I fill with a new product?
All customers use our tanks differently; it is common to empty your tank to a minimum safe reorder point before refilling your tank. The main benefit of using an FDO tank is that you are drawing the liquid from a low point on the tank. This can also be accomplished by using a sidewall connection with a siphon drain.
