On February 20^th, 2024, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) issued a safety advisory related to the catastrophic failure of a nurse tank that occurred in Iowa on August 23, 2023. The tank was manufactured by American Welding and Tank LLC at its Freemont, Ohio plant in 2009. The FMCSA-PHMSA advisory focuses on those specific tanks manufactured by American Welding and Tank LLC between January 01, 2007, through December 31, 2011. FMCSA-PHMSA recommends that those tanks within the listed date range undergo a visual, thickness and pressure test. For those tank owners that are unable to conduct a visual, thickness and pressure test, FMCSA-PHMSA recommends either radiographic or ultrasonic testing be conducted. FMCSA-PHMSA further recommends conducting the testing and inspection at least once every five years. Click here to read the FMCSA-PHMSA safety advisory. This advisory from FMCSA-PHMSA is similar to the Regulatory Alert IFCA sent out to our members on October 11, 2023, related to American Welding and Tank LLC.
