Fiberglass was first developed in the 1930s, with the earliest commercial production occurring in 1936 by the Owens Corning company. The material gained popularity in the 1940s, particularly during World War II, for its lightweight and strong properties, making it suitable for various applications, including aircraft and automotive components. Since then, fiberglass has become widely used in construction, boating, and various industrial applications.

Can you use Fibreglass water tanks for diesel storage?
Fibreglass water tanks are generally not recommended for diesel storage due to potential chemical compatibility issues. Diesel can degrade the resin used in fibreglass tanks, leading to leaks or contamination. For diesel storage, it's better to use tanks specifically designed for fuel, such as those made of steel or high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which are built to withstand the properties of diesel and prevent leaks. Always check local regulations and guidelines for fuel storage to ensure compliance.
