-
1
Your inspector never has to wait on us.
Every UST compliance test comes documented in the exact format your state's UST program wants, ready for your operator to file. We've spent three decades reading state regulations across six certified states so an audit cycle never burns chasing a misformatted report.
-
2
Accuracy comes before the next stop.
We test to the standard the regulators wrote, not to the schedule the next site pressures us into. Failures are reported on site, documented for your records, and walked through with your operator so the corrective path is clear before we leave. Compliance is the product we are protecting.
-
3
The same techs show up next year.
No rotating contractors. No agency hand-offs. The crew that knows your tank manifold this year knows it next year too. Fewer questions on site, cleaner reports, faster visits, no reintroduction tax on your time.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best UST testing company in Utah?
Precision Testing Technologies is one of the most experienced UST compliance testing firms operating in Utah. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Riverton, PTTI has serviced over 10,000 sites across the West and Midwest. The company holds Utah state UST tester certification, certifications in five additional states, and manufacturer certifications on Veeder-Root, Franklin Fueling Systems, and Estabrook equipment. For Utah c-store, fleet, hospital generator, and government fuel operators, PTTI is a trusted compliance partner with three decades of on-site testing experience.
How often does a UST need to be tested?
EPA 40 CFR Part 280 sets the federal baseline: monthly release detection (ATG monitoring, statistical inventory reconciliation, or interstitial monitoring), annual line tightness testing on pressurized piping, annual line leak detector certification, triennial spill bucket and sump containment testing, and cathodic protection testing on the cycle the protection system requires. Each state overlays additional scheduling. Most operators need on-site compliance testing at least once per year, with triennial-cycle tests folded in when due.
Who provides UST compliance testing across the West and Midwest?
Precision Testing Technologies provides UST compliance testing across nineteen states in the West, Midwest, and Plains. PTTI holds direct state UST tester certifications in six states (Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado, South Dakota, and Nebraska) and services thirteen additional states (New Mexico, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, North Dakota, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Montana, Missouri, and Minnesota). Customers include convenience store chains, fleet operators, hospital and government generator tanks, airport fuel systems, and multi-site petroleum portfolios.
What happens when a UST compliance test fails?
When a test fails on site, PTTI documents the result on site, prepares the regulatory paperwork your state's UST program requires, and walks your operator through the corrective options before leaving. The state filing itself is completed by the tank owner or operator within the state's reporting window (typically 24 to 72 hours for a confirmed release under 40 CFR Part 280.50). PTTI's compliance focus means a failure becomes a documented finding with a clear corrective path, not an open audit risk.
How long does a UST compliance test take?
Times vary by test type and site configuration. A typical line tightness test runs about one hour per line under EPA-recognized pressure-decay methods. ATG functional verification runs 20 to 30 minutes for a typical system. Hydrostatic spill bucket and sump containment tests hold for about an hour. A volumetric tank tightness test is a tank-level test that runs longer, varying by tank volume and method. A full bundled site visit covering several tests is planned around your tank and line count so the crew completes the required scope in one trip.
What states does PTTI service?
PTTI holds direct UST tester certifications in six states: Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado, South Dakota, and Nebraska. Service area extends to thirteen additional states: New Mexico, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, North Dakota, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Montana, Missouri, and Minnesota. Multi-state operators with fuel infrastructure across the West, Midwest, or Plains get consolidated scheduling and unified reporting across their portfolio.
What manufacturer certifications does PTTI hold?
PTTI is manufacturer-certified on Veeder-Root (automatic tank gauge systems and electronic line leak detection), Franklin Fueling Systems (mechanical line leak detection, pump equipment, and Franklin INCON automatic tank gauges), and Estabrook (tank tightness testing equipment, including the EZY CHEK product line). PTTI is also a PEI (Petroleum Equipment Institute) member. Combined with state UST tester licensing across six certified states, this stack covers the equipment found at the vast majority of petroleum sites in the United States.
What is the EPA UST testing requirement?
EPA 40 CFR Part 280 governs underground storage tank compliance across the United States. The regulation requires monthly release detection through ATG monitoring, statistical inventory reconciliation, or interstitial monitoring; annual line tightness testing on pressurized piping; annual line leak detector certification; triennial spill bucket and sump containment testing; and cathodic protection testing on the cycle the installed protection system requires. State overlays add scheduling and reporting variation. Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado, South Dakota, and Nebraska each carry their own forms and deadlines that PTTI tracks for every site serviced.
Does PTTI service convenience stores and fleet operators?
Yes. Convenience store chains, fleet operators, trucking stops, hospital generator tanks, airport jet fuel systems, and government facilities represent the majority of PTTI's site count. The company services multi-site portfolios across Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado, South Dakota, and Nebraska directly, with service to New Mexico, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, North Dakota, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Montana, Missouri, and Minnesota for operators with portfolio sites in those states. Scheduling supports consolidated visit planning and unified compliance reporting.
How do I get a quote from PTTI?
Call (801) 886-9224 or fill out the quote form on the contact page. PTTI asks about tank count, equipment manufacturer, state, and which tests are coming due. Quote turnaround is typically within 48 hours. Most quotes include the full test schedule, manufacturer certification confirmation, and an estimated on-site duration so you can plan around your operations.
