Find out how and why to check your tank. Posted by [Judson Burdon](https://blog.asphaltkingdom.com/author/judson-burdon) on September 14, 2025 Find me on  ![AK_Blog_WaterEvaporationInSealcoatingTanks](https://blog.asphaltkingdom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AK_Blog_WaterEvaporationInSealcoatingTanks.jpg?width=720&height=405&name=AK_Blog_WaterEvaporationInSealcoatingTanks.jpg) Did you know that water evaporates from your [sealcoat tank](https://www.asphaltkingdom.com/hydraulic-sealcoat-tank.html) dropping the level of your sealer over time? As a sealcoater you should always use a dipstick and check the level of your sealer when you store your unit at the end of the day. When you go to use your [sealcoat machine](https://www.asphaltkingdom.com/sealcoat-sprayer.html) again simply recheck the level of your sealer and refill (with water) it back to its original storage level. This will allow you to maintain the dilution rate of your sealer so it doesn't get too thick and create pump/spraying issues and it will also increase your profits as you won't be losing mixed product through evaporation.  Check the level of your sealer before storage and after storage; refill with water to restore your tank to its pre-storage levels.

He started out selling driveway sealcoating door to door and eventually created his own asphalt business. After successfully selling Imperial Asphalt he retired to the Caribbean - at the age of 24! He was soon tired of kitesurfing all day every day and he decided to build a website to help people find asphalt equipment and start a business just like he did. ### Share with a Friend ### Leave a Comment SIGN UP ### Get tips and tricks from the world of asphalt maintenance – sealcoating, line striping, crack repair and more – straight to your inbox.
