Comment. This was a coherent (but unreferenced) stub article as of February 2012. An anon IP editor rewrote it in May 2012. • Gene93k (talk) 17:50, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Jenks24 (talk) 10:48, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - yes, before May 2012 this was a perfectly sensible stub. Suggest we start from there and seek sources. SAE International: Aircraft Flexible Tanks General Design and Installation Recommendations 1996. [www.hse.gov.uk/research/rrpdf/rr527.pdf Health and Safety Executive: Fluid structure interaction effects on and dynamic response of pressure vessels and tanks subjected to dynamic loading, 2007] (rigid and flexible tanks). Australian Government National Water Commission: Rainwater Tank Design and Installation Handbook, 2008. A primary source is Fem Seismic Analysis Of Steel Tanks For Oil Storage In Industrial Facilities (14th WCEE, 2008). There's a little history in Grace's Guide: Marston Excelsior re fuel tanks for WWII aircraft. I'm sure water engineers could readily find more and better sources than these.

I've boldly cleaned up the article (more or less a revert to before May 2012) with the more sensible OR snippets from May 2012, added these sources and started with an inline ref. Help please. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:57, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Flexible thermoplastic or elastomer water tanks and rubber gas tanks have been in use since the 1950s. Article improved per CC's request. The Steve 21:59, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Have added some more, we're up to 7 inline citations and a nice history now. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:55, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
