A means of storing multiple bulk liquids inside one storage tank which in volves the installation of flexible internal tank(s) where such internal tan k(s) comprise at least partially rigid end caps (12) and flexible membrane s ide walls (14), and/or internal bladders (15). Theses internal tanks and/or bladders are compatible with physical conditions of large bulk storage tanks ans potentially capable of storing thousand of tons. The development of mul ti-product tanks allows tank-farm operators great flexibility in the logisti cal operation of storing a range of incompatible liquids, and avoids exhaust ive tank clean out procedures that are normally required when switching larg e tanks from one product to another product, especially where incompatible s pecifications are intolerant of cross-contamination.
