Having the expertise of a qualified Marine Surveyor 33421 to inspect your vessel is essential. One of the most important components of any marine survey is the fuel and water tank inspections. At Suncoast Marine Surveying, we have years of experience performing these types of surveys. We know how to properly address fuel and water tank inspections.
Fuel tanks should be inspected visually by a marine surveyor 33421 both externally and internally for evidence of leaks or corrosion. During this inspection, all access points should be checked including manholes, valves, and venting systems as well as any required sounding measurements. The impurities and consistency of fuel should also be tested. Samples may have to be collected and sent to a lab for further analysis.
Water tanks should also be checked visually looking for contamination or growths as well as evidence of corrosion and holes that may cause leaks. Other concerns such as expansion due to temperature increase should also be considered. We also recommend testing for bacteria, which requires taking a sample from each tank and sending it to a lab for analysis.
