What is the flash point. Some people call Kerosene paraffin, which would put you over the exempt quantity for control area storage for a Class II combustible liquid. It would need to be a III-B liquid to get that much volume. Get a HMIS and HMMP for the facility to see what the material is an how they will use it.
 
believe it will be class III b, over 450 fp

it wil be kept in a liquid state, used to make flammable matches.
