Abstract
A frac tank adapted for vehicular transport and field storage of a liquid, comprising two parallel, elongated, hollow, intersecting cylinder sections that are capped at the longitudinal ends. Each section has an arcuate wall defining a cross-section of greater than 180°, a major diameter, and a minor diameter at the ends of the arcuate wall, wherein the ends of the arcuate wall of each section are sealingly joined to form the tank wall. The joined ends of the arcuate walls form inwardly directed cusps along the length of the tank with the major diameters spaced apart on either side of the cusps.
