Flameshield® UL 142 Double-Wall Fire-Tested Tanks
Manufactured in Suwanee, GA by Metal Products Company. Flameshield® double-wall steel aboveground tanks combine UL 142 atmospheric storage compliance with a certified 2-hour 2,000°F fire endurance test rating (SwRI 97-04) and continuous interstitial leak monitoring.
Flameshield® Engineering & UL 142 Specifications
Precision-welded in Georgia to Steel Tank Institute (STI) Flameshield® standards with factory vacuum-tested primary and secondary containment shells.
Key Operational Advantages

What is the difference between Flameshield® and Fireguard® tanks?
Both are STI-licensed double-wall steel tanks tested against a 2-hour 2,000°F fire exposure. Fireguard® meets UL 2085 by using a lightweight thermal insulation layer between walls to restrict internal temperature rise, whereas Flameshield® meets UL 142 and SwRI 97-04 fire endurance criteria using precision double-wall steel geometry without an internal insulating material—making Flameshield® lighter and more economical when full UL 2085 thermal insulation is not mandated by local fire code.
Does a Flameshield® tank eliminate the need for concrete containment dikes?
Yes. Because Flameshield® features an integral outer steel wall providing 110% secondary containment with a built-in interstitial monitoring port, it satisfies EPA SPCC (40 CFR Part 112) secondary containment rules without expensive site-poured concrete dikes that trap rainwater.
Can Flameshield® tanks be customized with multiple compartments?
Yes. Metal Products Company fabricates Flameshield® tanks with double-bulkhead internal dividers so a single tank footprint can safely store diesel, unleaded gasoline, and dyed off-road fuel simultaneously.
