A hi and thanks in advance to you all.

We have fuel oil 2 aboveground storage fixed cone roofs tanks with foam chambers for superficial application.

I´d like to know what kind of foam is better for this application, the fluoroproteinic type or the AFFF.

We´ve been recomended AFFF since it is more versatile to have it for other applications. But we had a comment that for the foam chambers the fluoroproteinic is better.

Does somebody can comment about the two types of foam and which is better for ASTs foam chambers?
