A tank assembly with a tank (8) for storing liquid hydrocarbon, the tank (8) having a floor (16) for supporting a weight of the liquid hydrocarbon (18). A filter (20) is fitted to the floor (16) of the tank (8). The filter (20) is arranged to allow liquid water in the tank (8) to drain out of the tank (8) through the filter (20) but substantially prevent the liquid hydrocarbon (18) in the tank (8) from doing so. The filter (20) has a permeation member (22), such as a membrane, which is formed from a material such as graphene oxide which allows liquid water in the tank (8) to drain out of the tank (8) by permeating through the permeation member (22) but substantially prevent the liquid hydrocarbon (18) in the tank (8) from doing so.
