We are suspecting floor leaking in a 5000 m3 Oil Storage TK, clear water is coming out underneath the bottom of the TK, passing through concrete foundation, before to decide stop it for inspection, We want to confirm water is coming out because of corrosion or rupture of the floor.
Any of you have experience about this leak test with fluorescein, it is just to colour the water inside the TK and wait to receive colour water externally.
