Fuel storage is done in carbon or stainless-steel tanks to reduce corrosion problems, but according to Komariah et al (2023) corrosion is still one of the main problems found in fuel tanks. In this way, the selection of the correct material is fundamental in the sizing of the storage tank. The analysis of the most suitable types of steel for the construction of storage tanks for different products in order to avoid corrosion processes led to the elaboration of Table 2.
