Questions about gas station storage tanks?

Sure. Article 3.0.3 of the \"Code for Design and Construction of Automobile Fuel and Gas Stations\" (GB 50156-2002, 2006 edition): 120 for Class I fuel stations
The \"Codes for Design and Construction of Automobile Fueling and Gas Filling Stations\" state that for grade I and II fueling stations, the capacity of each tank should be 50 cubic meters or less, while for grade III stations it should be 30 cubic meters or less. However, it is also specified that diesel is counted as half of its normal volume; does this mean that the capacity of diesel tanks can be greater than 30 cubic meters?
Diesel is calculated at half the rate; gasoline and diesel are combined and then compared with the total capacity and grade of the gas station

Note in Article 3.0.3 of GB 50156-2002 (2006 edition): V represents the total volume of the oil tanks ； The volume of the diesel storage tank can be counted as half of the total volume of the oil tanks. Article 3.0.3 specifies that the volume of a single tank at a grade-3 station must be 30 cubic meters or less. The notes do not state that the diesel tank volume can be halved in such cases; rather, they indicate that halving the diesel tank volume is only applicable when calculating the total volume. If the total volume is less than 60 cubic meters but one of the tanks exceeds 30 cubic meters, then such a station should be classified as a grade-2 station
