between tanks shall not be less than 3 feet; in excess of 126,000 gallons
(, ,000 bbls.), the distance shall be not less than the diameter of the
sialler tank.
"(d) The minimum separation between an LP Gas container and a
flammable liquid tank shall be 20 feet. Suitable means shall be taken to
prevent the accumulation of flammable liquids under adjacent LP gas con-
tainers such as by diking, diversion curbs or grading. When flammable
liquid tanks are diked, the LP Gas containers shall be outside the diked
area and at least 10 feet away from the center line of the dike. The fore-
going provisions shall not apply when LP Gas containers of 125 gallons or
1 ss capacity are installed adjacent to Class III flammable liquid tanks of
275 gallons or less capacity.
"Sec. 15-9-13. Foundations and Supports. (a) Tanks shall rest
directly on the ground or on foundations or supports of concrete, masonry,
piling, or steel. Exposed piling or steel supports shall be protected by

groups of tanks containing crude petroleum or other liquid having similar
bail-over characteristics, shall be diked or other suitable means taken to
prevent discharge of liquid from endangering adjoining property or reaching
waterways. Where a diked enclosure is required under this section, it
shall have a capacity not less than that of the tank or tanks served by
the enclosure.
"'(b) FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OTHER THAN CRUDE PETROLEUM. Individual
tanks or groups of tanks, where deemed necessary by the Chief of the Bureau
of Fire Prevention on account of proximity to waterways, character of topo-
graphy, or nearness to structures of high value, or to places of habitation
or assembly, shall be diked or the yard shall be provided with a curb
or other suitable means taken to prevent the spread of liquid onto other
property or waterways. Where a diked enclosure is required under this
sction, it shall have a net capacity not less than that of the largest

shall be consistent with the angle of repose of the material of which the
dikes are constructed. Unless means are available for extinguishing a
fire in any tank containing crude petroleum, dikes and walls enclosing
such tanks shall be provided at the top with a flareback section designed
to turn back a boil-over wave, provided, however, that a flareback section
shall not be required for dikes and walls enclosing approved floating roof
tanks.
(d) DRAINAGE. Where provision is made for draining rain water
from diked areas, such drains shall normally be kept closed and shall be so
designed that when in use, they will not permit flammable liquids to enter
natural water courses, public sewers, or public drains, if their presence
would constitute a hazard. Where pumps control drainage from the diked
area, they shall not be self-starting.
"(e) No loose combustible material, empty or full drum or barrel, shall
be permitted within the diked area.
(f) In particular installations these provisions may be altered at the
discretion of the Chief of the Bureau of Fire Prevention after consideration
of special features such as topographical conditions; nature of occupancy
andjproximity to buildings on adjoining property and height and character
of construction of such buildings; capacity and construction of proposed
tanks and character of liquids to be stored; degree of private fire protection
to be provided, and facilities of the fire department to cope with flammable
liquid fires.
"Sec. 15-9-15. Design and Construction of Tanks Operating at Sub-
stantially Atmospheric Pressure. (a) Tanks shall be built of steel or
concrete unless character of liquid stored requires other materials. Steel
commonly known as 'mill seconds' shall not be used. Tanks built of ma-
terials other than steel shall be designed to specifications embodying safety
factors equivalent to those herein specified for steel tanks. Concrete tanks
shall be built in accordance with sound engineering practice. Steel tanks
shall be built in accordance with the requirements of the following para-
graphs. All shop-built tanks shall be tested at a pressure of not less than
five and not more than ten pounds per square inch (measured at the top of
the'Itank) for a period of at least ten minutes without leakage or permanent
deformation.
"(b) FIELD ERECTED VERTICAL TANKS. Vertical tanks erected in the
field shall be built in accordance with nationally recognized good practice.
"(c) SMALL, SHOP BUILT VERTICAL TANKS. Vertical tanks not over
1,100 gallons capacity shall meet the following requirements:

"(e) SHOP BUILT HORIZONTAL TANKS. Horizontal tanks shall be
constructed in accordance with accepted engineering practice and
shall meet the following minimum requirements: Joints shall be riveted
and caulked, riveted and welded, or welded. Tank heads over 6 feet
in diameter shall be dished, stayed, braced, or reinforced.
LB(1) SMALL, SHOP BUILT HORIZONTAL TANKS. Horizontal tanks
not over 1,100 gallons capacity shall meet the following require-
ments:
Minimum Thickness of Steel
Capacity (gallons) U.S. Standard
1 to 60 18 gauge
61 to 275 14 gauge
276 to 550 12 gauge
551 to 1,100 10 gauge

made of steel, shall be 3/16 inch or greater nominal thickness.
Tanks having a diameter of over 6 feet and not more than 12 feet,
made of steel, shall be 1/4 inch or greater nominal thickness.
"Sec. 15-9-16. Vents. (a) VENTS FOR NORMAL BREATHING. Tanks
shall have normal venting capacity sufficient to permit the filling
and emptying of such tanks, plus their breathing due to temperature
changes, without distortion of tank shell or roof. Tanks storing
Class I and Class II flammable liquids shall be equipped where
practical with either venting devices which shall be normally closed
when not under pressure or vacuum, or with approved flame arresters,
except that tanks under 2,500 gallons capacity for Class I liquids
and tanks under 3,000 barrels capacity for crude petroleum in pro-
ducing areas may have open vents.
"(b) VENTS FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF. In addition to the provisions
for normal venting herein required, every aboveground storage tank
shall have some form of construction or device that will relieve
excessive internal pressure, caused by exposure fires, that might
cause the rupture of the tank shell or bottom. In a vertical tank,
this construction may take the form of a weakened seam in the roof.
The joint between the roof and the shell of a tank 36 feet or more
in diameter, if built in accordance with section 15-9-15 (b) of this
article, shall be deemed to be a weakened seam for this purpose. Where
entire dependence for such additional relief is placed upon some
device other than a weak roof seam or joint, the total venting
capacity of both normal and emergency vents shall be enough to prevent
rupture of the shell or bottom of the tank if vertical, or of the
shell or heads if horizontal. Such device may be a self-closing
(manhole cover, or one using long bolts that permit the cover to lift
Under internal pressure, or an additional or larger relief valve
or valves. When emergency relief is provided by other than a
;weak roof seam or joint, the total capacity of the normal breather
and emergency relief shall be sized according to Table 15-9-17 Required
;Total Pressure Relief Capacity of Vents.
"Sec. 15-9-17. Table.
