Not directly in the oil patch but am an API 653 inspector(Aboveground Storage Tanks) That's as much as part of the oilfield as any job out there. A tank is just a big storage place in the Pipeline.

I even installed pan floaters and internal floaters made of aluminum. Really weird walking around on aluminum not much thicker than the side of an aluminum can. I welded the lifting eyes on this lid. It was the day my dad died.
