Can a gasoline tank be converted into a diesel tank?

Can a tank that has been used to store gasoline be converted into a tank for storing diesel? If possible, what kind of modifications are needed?
There is no issue with using gasoline tanks to store diesel; attention should be paid to the appropriate modification of the process system.
If it is a pressure vessel, changes must be made; if it is not a pressure vessel, it is sufficient as long as the basic parameters such as temperature and pressure remain the same, and the process parameters are appropriate
It can be used, but treat it as if it needs to be cleaned first before use
Please pay attention to the fire safety requirements; since the two substances are classified differently, the requirements regarding fire safety, spacing, storage capacity, etc., also vary
The Hекс floating roof technology effectively reduces evaporation, allowing an internal floating roof to be installed in dome storage tanks without shutting down the operation!
First, one needs to consider the composition of the diesel – whether it is before blending or after blending. The components of diesel before blending may contain sulfur-containing substances, which can affect the material of the internal floating roof in gasoline tanks； Secondly, it is necessary to check whether the storage temperature of diesel has an impact on the components in the original gasoline tank. Third is whether the internal floating roof structure used for gasoline tanks should be applied to diesel as well; if so, almost no modifications will be required, but the necessary procedural changes must still be carried out.
