In Africa, there is a diesel storage tank that was constructed on-site; the design institute provided insulation designs for the large tank and the oil inlet pipelines. Is this necessary?

As the title says! The annual temperature is 27 degrees, with a maximum of 37 degrees and a minimum of 23 degrees – is it necessary to insulate? Is the purpose of insulation to prevent temperature rise from sunlight? The local diesel flash point is 60 degrees Celsius.
This depends on the project’s \"Design Uniform Regulations\".
Up to 37 degrees in Africa? It’s unlikely, right?
Heat retention: 1. Prevent continuous exposure to high temperatures, which could cause the temperature inside the tube to rise; 2. Prevent sudden heavy rainfall from causing sharp temperature changes

Isn’t a sunscreen brush with cooling gel more convenient, since I think the heat-retaining feature isn’t that useful? The storage temperature just needs to not exceed the flash point. Judging from your environment, the temperature probably won’t reach that level.
Another function of insulation is to reduce evaporation.
It’s not necessary; I’m also abroad right now, and we’re building railway piers there. The design of those oil pipelines is simply awful.
