Safety distances between diesel and gasoline tank areas and the issue of firewalls
Thread Content
What is the safety distance between diesel and gasoline tank areas? Height and distance of the firewall? What are the requirements regarding the distance between the firewall and the fire access road? This post was last edited by hw197358 on 2009-4-14 15:37.]
I’m not sure whether the poster is referring to a gas station or an oil depot Or an internal corporate oil depot? It is recommended to look in the \"Code for Design and Construction of Automobile Fueling and Gas Filling Stations\" or the \"Code for Design of Oil Depots\“. Additionally, there are the \"Code for Fire Protection Design of Building Structures\" and the \"Code for Fire Protection Design of Petrochemical Enterprises\"
Buried tanks have different requirements from above-ground tanks. Gasoline and diesel should be relatively straightforward to handle; one just needs to follow the guidelines mentioned earlier to make the right choice, with no issues arising
The 2008 version of the Code for Fire Protection Design of Petrochemical Enterprises – please download the latest version from the standards section of the forum; it provides very detailed information on safety distances for various types of storage tanks, firewalls, and other related details. . . :lol
