Hi all,
I have come across a 5,000 gallon diesel tank (Class II) attached to a fuel pump that is being used on an agricultural property to fuel tractors. The tank is on a concrete pad with a roof structure over it (essentially a canopy). The issue is, a barn has been built right behind the tank (5’ away) and this doesn’t seem right.
Can someone guide me through IFC to determine the required distance to a building? Even though it is only one pump, would Chapter 23 apply? Or would I use Chapter 57? I am assuming they utilized Table 2306.2.3 for this. However, the referenced code for that table has a footnote (4) that such tanks in a rural setting would need to be 50’ away.
Any guidance is appreciated.
