Does the distance from a Class A storage tank to the fire dike need to take the height of the foundation into account?

The distance from a Class A storage tank to the fire dike is half the height of the tank wall, but since the foundation is 500 mm high, should this be taken into account?
The petroleum storage facility regulations state that this need not be considered, as the tanks are not usually filled to capacity
When the foundation of the storage tank is below the height of the fire dike, the value of h does not include the height of the tank’s foundation； When the tank foundation is above the height of the fire dike, h in this case includes the tank’s foundation
This simple principle isn’t properly described; there are two rules: one is the shortest distance from the tank wall to the dike； The second is horizontal distance~~~ it has nothing to do with your foundation! ! !
