Its a bottom shape that minimized dead storage under a floating roof. The bottom slopes cone up with a normal slope for about 8 to 10 feet then slopes very steeply up as high has possible under the floating roof then has a normal cone up slope to the tank center. The center portion resembles a mesa or table top configuration.
