Liquid fuel leakage control issues in underground tanks and tanks placed on hardened soil has been presented. Particularly the bottoms of the tanks were taken into account due to difficulties in physical access to them. Two ways of control have been presented. The first one refers to localization of the leakage from inside of the tank and is based on forced movement of the medium, and the second one refers to disclosure of leakage in closed end units, i.e. in those whose upper and bottom ends have no access. The second one is based on a groundwater technique. Three new examine techniques have been presented, all based on the forced flow of liquid movement: jacket, membrane and float techniques.
