Our Disclosure
TankAuthority.com participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means we earn a commission when you click on certain links on our site and subsequently make a purchase — at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether you arrive at the retailer through our link or directly.
This disclosure is made pursuant to the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR § 255.5: Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, and applicable state consumer protection regulations.
Affiliate Programs We Participate In
TankAuthority currently participates in the following affiliate programs:
- Amazon Associates — As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through links to Amazon.com product listings on this site.
- Tank Depot Affiliate Program — We earn commissions on sales referred to TankDepot.com through our affiliate links.
- Impact.com Network — Through Impact.com, we may earn commissions from Tractor Supply Co., Home Depot, Northern Tool, and other retailers whose programs are managed through the Impact platform.
- Commission Junction (CJ Affiliate) — We may participate in additional retailer programs through the CJ network as they become relevant to our content.
How This Affects Our Content
Participation in affiliate programs does not influence which products we recommend, how we rank products in our roundups, or what we write in our guides. Our editorial process:
- Products are evaluated based on published specifications, manufacturer documentation, verified user reviews, and independent research — not on affiliate commission rates
- We do not accept sponsored placements, paid reviews, or payment to feature specific products
- We do not change editorial positions based on affiliate relationships
- Where we recommend a product, we genuinely believe it is the right recommendation for the described use case — the same recommendation we would make to a friend asking the same question
Identifying Affiliate Links
Pages containing affiliate links display a disclosure banner at the top of the page: "Affiliate Disclosure: TankAuthority earns commissions from qualifying purchases at no cost to you."
Product links in our content that go to Amazon, Tank Depot, Tractor Supply, or other retailers are typically affiliate links. Calculator pages and purely informational pages generally contain no affiliate links.
Display Advertising
TankAuthority may display advertising served by third-party ad networks (such as Google AdSense or Mediavine). These ads are served automatically based on page content and visitor data collected per our Privacy Policy. Ad content is not editorially controlled by TankAuthority.
Questions
If you have questions about our affiliate relationships or how a specific recommendation was made, please contact us. We're committed to transparency about how this site works.
