Abstract: A frac tank has two or more telescoping sections. Each of the sections may be rectangular. When an upper section is lifted on site, the telescoping tank has about twice the height of a standard frac tank. The tank may be fitted with an attached lifting system such that the telescoping operation involves only a small amount of on-site labour.  An inflatable seal between the telescoping sections allows the telescoped sections to contain water. A  membrane inside the tank unfolds when the tank is telescoped and also contains water.  Both containment systems may be used together to provide a double walled containment system and reduce the risk of a leak allowing frac water to reach the environment. The frac tank is transported by a winch truck with the sections collapsed.
