Benefits of Professional Tank Coating
Professional coating protects your fuel tanks from corrosion, leaks, and regulatory non-compliance — extending asset life and reducing long-term costs.
- Corrosion Protection — Creates barrier against rust and deterioration
- Chemical Resistance — Protects against fuel degradation
- Coating is not pressure-vessel repair and does not seal structural cracks
- Thermal Insulation — Helps regulate tank temperature
- UV Protection — Prevents sun damage and coating breakdown
- Environmental Compliance — Meets EPA and industry standards
- Cost Efficiency — Extends tank life, reducing replacement costs
Coating Systems We Use
We select the optimal coating system based on your tank's contents, environment, and performance requirements.
- Epoxy Coatings — Excellent chemical and abrasion resistance
- Polyurethane Coatings — Superior UV stability and weathering
- Polyurea Coatings — Fast cure, high flexibility
- Zinc-Rich Primers — Maximum corrosion protection
- High-Heat Resistant Coatings — For extreme temperature applications
Our Process
Inspection & Assessment
We evaluate your tank's current condition, identify corrosion, coating failures, and environmental factors to recommend the right coating system.
We evaluate your tank's current condition, identify corrosion, coating failures, and environmental factors to recommend the right coating system.
Blast cleanliness and surface profile are selected separately to meet the coating and service specification.
Our SSPC-certified crews apply your coating system in controlled layers, monitoring specified thickness and application conditions. Where specified, adhesion is tested separately after the required cure.
We perform a thorough final inspection, provide documentation, and hand off a tank that's ready for years of service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most fuel and oil tanks need recoating every 10 to 15 years, depending on environmental exposure, the original coating system, and maintenance history. We recommend annual visual inspections and coating assessments every 3 to 5 years to catch issues early.
For exterior fuel tank coating, we typically recommend a zinc-rich primer with an epoxy intermediate coat and a polyurethane topcoat for UV protection. Interior linings are selected using the exact contents, concentration, temperature, immersion duty and cleaning cycle, supported by the manufacturer's compatibility information and the project specification.
We coordinate scheduling to reduce disruption. Isolation, shutdowns and cure periods may be required. MPC personnel will confirm the operating restrictions and estimated duration for your project. Exterior work feasibility is assessed with the owner's operating requirements. Interior work requires isolation, cleaning, applicable entry and atmosphere controls, coating cure and a defined return-to-service plan.
SPCC obligations, tank integrity and secondary containment must be assessed separately from coating performance. Applicable environmental requirements depend on the facility, tank and work scope.
What Our Clients Say
“Markley Precision Company was easy to work with and the quality of their work is second to none. I have used them on three separate projects and have been very pleased with the quality of work each time. No job seems to be too big or too small. I have used them to blast and paint a 30,000 gallon propane tank, and to blast and paint our vertical bulk storage vessels for nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. They've even done work for me on the Lake Erie Islands, as well, which presented logistical challenges, but MPC didn't miss a beat. I would recommend MPC 100 out of 100 times.”
Matt Drennen
“Very happy with the work completed so far with MPC. Last year, I had them paint 5 of our 30,000 gallon bullet tanks. The work was completed quickly and professionally. With a years worth of age on them now, they still look as good as new! I was so pleased with their work on the tanks, I hired them to complete an even larger, more complex project blasting and recoating a natural gas processing mechanical refrigeration unit. Even when some concerns came up, they quickly remediated the situation. Extremely happy with the work they've performed!”
Paul Teeters
