As the result of measuring over a period of four years oxygen diffusivity and Faradaic impedance of two kinds of probes buried in the foundation of 40 oil tanks, the role of oxygen and water play in tank bottom corrosion was made clear, and the application of the Faradic impedance monitoring method outside the laboratory was established.
