Regulated Storage Tanks (USTs)
should be monitored
constantly by operators. USTs
that are based on tribal lands
must also follow certain federal
regulations.

Every UST has to have overfill
prevention in place if it is filled
with more than 25 gallons of
product at a time. The
preventive measures must be
installed in the tank to:
stop overflow
reduce chances of overflow
alert delivery personnel
before the tank is full to the
brim

How To Prevent An Overfill
Alarms should be set in
place to alert the delivery
driver when fluid reaches a
certain level in the tank.
This will give them enough
time to shut off flow.
Automatic shutoff devices
can stop product flow
immediately when the
product reaches a certain
level.

The automatic shutoff valve
should not be blocked by
anything. Otherwise, an
overfill cannot be avoided.
Close attention should be
paid before, during and
after delivery to prevent an
overfill.

All spills should be reported
immediately to the agency.
By installing ball float
valves, you can slow down
the flow of the product.
These prevent vapors from
exiting the tank when the
product reaches a specific
level in the tank which
alerts drivers.

The top of the tanks need
to be as tight as possible to
prevent vapors from exiting.
Only order as much product
that can fill 90% of the tank.

By preventing overfill, you can
prevent the loss of gallons of
valuable product, save time
and money which can be best
spent elsewhere.
