Fiberglass reinforced plastics (FRP) have been used for some years in gas station underground fuel distribution. I am looking for information that will help me estimate failure probability vs. time for such materials and to identify environmental factors that would contribute to accelerated failure.

I have visited, virtually or physically, all 50 state environmental protection or other underground storage tank (UST) and related equipment agency so I am aware of what's available to the public on a generic basis. I am seeking other persons who may have researched this matter or who have knowledge of any unusual failure modes or mechanisms.

Reference to any other data, information or case studies would also be appreciated.
