Abstract
A spill containment receptacle for use with a tank has a flexible receptacle member defining an enclosure. It has a bottom wall and a sidewall extending upwardly and inwardly from the periphery of the bottom wall to a height that is less than the width of the bottom wall. The upper end portion of the sidewall has a collar extending thereabout and defining on opening adjacent the upper end of the receptacle member which is of lesser area than the bottom wall. Straps are attached to the collar for securing the receptacle member to an associated tank. The opening of the receptacle member is positioned directly beneath a point of leakage from the tank, and the upper end of the sidewall is positioned adjacent the surface of the tank about the point of leakage.
