However, ifonly the usual methods have been fol-lowed and leaks develop, caulking mayprove a satisfactory remedy. In any case,when a threaded joint is made, a pastymaterial may be spread over the threadsas a means of making the joint verytight. This pasty material should notbe anything that will dissolve in petro-leum. A proper paste may be made bymixing together suitable quantities ofglycerine and litharge powder. Where concrete is to be used for theconstruction of the tank itself, the lattermay have almost any shape desired. Ingeneral, reinforced concrete will becheaper. The reason for this is that whenconcrete is used without reinforcement,it is usually necessary to employ it inlarge amount. The wall thickness andthe floor thickness will be the tank is to be an elevated one, itwill be almost imperative to use rein-forced concrete for still a
