GENERAL NOTES

1. TOP OF UNDERGROUND TANKS SHOULD NOT BE LESS THAN 305mm OF

DISTANCE UNDERGROUND
2. THE MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN SHELLS OF ANY TWO ALL-STEEL, GASTIGHT
TANKS SHOULD NOT LESS THAN ONE-HALF OF THE GREATEST DISTANCE
32mm DIMENSION (DIAMETER, LENGTH, OR HEIGHT)
VENT PIPE
3. TANKS SHOULD BE SO LOCATED AS TO AVOID POSSIBLE DANGER FROM HIGH
WATER
4. ALL FUEL OIL STORAGE TANKS MUST BE VENTED. THE SIZE OF THE VENT PIPE
SHOULD BE IN PROPORTION TO THE SIZE OF THE FILL LINE AND SHOULD
NEVER BE LESS THAN 32mm PIPE
5. THE FILL LINE ALWAYS SHOULD BE CONNECTED AT THE LOW END OF THE
TANK AND NEVER CROSS-CONNECTED TO VENT PIPE
6. NFPA 30 REQUIRES THAT TANKS AND THEIR PIPING BE PROTECTED EITHER BY
USING CORROSION-RESISTANT MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION, SUCH AS
SPECIAL ALLOYS AND FIBERGLASS, OR BY USING A PROPERLY ENGINEERED,
INSTALLED, AND MAINTAINED CATHODIC PROTECTION SYSTEM IN
ACCORDANCE WITH RECOGNIZED STANDARDS OF DESIGN
7. TANK VENTING SYSTEMS SHALL BE PROVIDED WITH SUFFICIENT CAPACITY TO
PREVENT BLOWBACK OF VAPOR LIQUID AT THE FILL OPENING WHILE THE
TANK IS BEING FILLED. VENT PIPES SHALL BE SIZED NOT LESS THAN 32 mm
NOMINAL INSIDE DIAMETER WHERE TANK VENTING DEVICES ARE INSTALLED IN
VENT LINES
8. TANKS SHALL REST ON THE GROUND OR ON FOUNDATIONS MADE OF
CONCRETE, MASONRY, PILLING, OR STEEL. TANK FOUNDATIONS SHALL BE
DESIGNED TO MINIMIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF UNEVEN SETTLING OF THE TANK
AND TO MINIMIZE CORROSION IN ANY PART OF THE TANK RESTING ON THE
FOUNDATION
9. ALL UNDERGROUND TANKS SHALL BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTION AND SHALL BE SET ON FIRM FOUNDATIONS
AND SURROUNDED WITH AT LEAST 150 mm OF NONCORROSIVE INERT
MATERIAL SUCH AS CLEAN SAND OR GRAVEL WELL TAMPERED IN PLACE. THE
TANK SHALL BE PLACED IN THE HOLE WITH CARE
10. UNDERGROUND TANKS SHALL BE COVERED WITH NOT LESS THAN 600mm OF
EARTH, OR WITH NOT LESS THAN 300mm OF EARTH ON TOP OF WHICH SHALL
BE PLACED A SLAB OF REINFORCED CONCRETE NOT LESS THAN 100mm THICK.
WHERE TANKS SHALL BE PROTECTED AGAINST DAMAGE FROM VEHICLES

PASSING OVER THEM. WHEN ASPHALTIC OR REINFORCED CONCRETE PAVING
CAPACITY: 3,000 Gallons (11,356L) IS USED AS PART OF THE PROTECTION, IT SHALL BE EXTENDED AT LEAST
DIAMETER: 6 ft (1.83m) 300mm HORIZONTALLY BEYOND THE OUTLINE OF THE TANK IN ALL DIRECTIONS
