Have you ever worked on a gas station with a total volume of over 180 m^3?

Have you ever worked on a gas station with a total volume of over 180 m^3? Should it be classified as a gas station or as a fuel depot?
I’ve never done it, but there are probably not many gas stations with such a large capacity. If there are any, it’s advisable to treat them as gas stations.
Alas! This is a tricky problem; both the regulations for gas stations and oil depots need to be met
I have never dealt with such a problem; the specified maximum capacity is 180, and there’s no rule for anything beyond that. If it has to be by oil storage tanks, that would be problematic; it’s not the right approach, and it can’t be solved. I’m sorry.
How much more? Are the security risks acceptable?
Code for Design and Construction of Automobile Fuel and Gas Stations GB50156-2002 (2006 edition): For fuel stations, the larger the total volume of the oil tanks, the greater their ability to meet market demands. Gas stations located in open areas such as the suburbs of cities or along roadsides can have a larger total volume for their fuel tanks compared to those situated in urban areas; therefore, this standard classifies gas stations with a total tank volume of 121–180 m3 as Class 1 gas stations. Our company has previously handled volumes of over 180 m3; in such cases, either the number of oil tanks is reduced or the facility is designed as an oil depot, with companies generally opting to reduce the number of oil tanks.

Those greater than 180 should be treated as oil depots!
Agreeing that the sixth floor is the statement. At gas stations, a capacity of over 180 m³ is not allowed; they are treated as oil depots, and the requirements for gas stations simply cannot be met, so the tank size has to be reduced.
Some of the gas stations on highways are oversized vehicle stations. Some large vertical oil storage tanks were taken out of use upon safety clearance. Some have been converted into fire water tanks. In practice, permits are not granted for stations that exceed the limits; however, some such stations have received permits from the local safety authorities after having HAN explosion-proof materials installed.
