I’m not sure how big it needs to be, but we used concrete grave liners for pits a few years back. They should be readily available for funerals, so I doubt it would be much trouble finding one. Also, what about a septic tank?

Your municipality may have specific requirements and suggestions.
Search online for Sand/Oil Separators or Precast Concrete suppliers in your area.

Where are you located? I can recommend a couple suppliers in my area, but that may not help you.

It sounds like a major project. I’ve never heard of a “interceptor tank” at a car wash. What are we talking about? The bays pit tank or the oil water separator tank?

My oil water separator tank is a 750 gallon 3 compartment tank, I don't know the physical dimensions.
