For tan k relocation, the bottom, shell or roof may be cut in any size
from exist ing tank so that the pieces are suitable for transportation.
2.
For dismantling the tank the bottom may be cut 12" away from
shell to bottom weld, if entire bottom plates are to be used.
3.
Alternatively cut the bottom and shell at 1/2" from toe of shell to
bottom weld and discard the weld portion.
