About TankBinderYou already do the work. We make sure the records never lose it.
TankBinder is compliance recordkeeping for the people who run independent fuel, fleet, and generator sites, built by a small software company that believes a missed deadline should never be a surprise.
The problem with the binder
Most underground storage tank violations are not spills. They are missing records. You can do every walkthrough, test every line, and still get a finding because a sheet of paper was filed in the wrong drawer, or never filed at all. The work was done. The proof was lost. A binder cannot remind you of a deadline, cannot timestamp what you did, and cannot hand the inspector a complete file in one tap.
That gap is the whole reason TankBinder exists. We took the binder your inspector expects and put it on the phone already in your pocket: the 30-day walkthrough built to your state's form, a reminder before your deadlines, and a complete inspector-ready file for any site, any tank, any date.
Our duty to warn
A compliance tool that stays quiet when it should speak is worse than no tool at all, because it gives you false confidence. So we hold ourselves to a simple rule: we tell you what is regulated, and we never let a foreseeable gap silently harm you.
- Where your state publishes its own operator walkthrough form, we build to it, and we say so.
- Where a state has no published form, we build the walkthrough straight from the federal rule (40 CFR 280.36), and we never call that an official state form.
- Where a single detail is not yet verified by a domain expert, we flag it as pending verification rather than show it as settled fact.
- No flag does not mean you are safe. TankBinder helps you keep and produce records. You are still responsible for following your state and federal requirements, and we will always point you to the official source.
Who we are
TankBinder is a product of Tabb Labs LLC, a small software company. We build practical tools for the operators large compliance vendors overlook: the single-site owner, the two-store family business, the fleet yard, the school district, the generator site. The product is bilingual end to end, in English and Spanish, because the crews who keep the fuel flowing are too.
What we believe
- Your records are yours. You can export a complete inspector-ready file any time, and your records leave with you if you ever go.
- Honest before impressive. We would rather show you a hedge than a confident claim we cannot stand behind.
- Built for the field. No hardware, no consultant, no service contract. The walkthrough is done at the tanks, on the phone, in minutes.
