above ground fuel dispensing tanks

[es2doug]

I have a customer who is installing some above ground fuel dispensing tanks. i am looking for information on the electrical requirements. The tanks are outdoor, set inside of concrete containment dikes. There are (4) tanks and each has a pump and nozzle attached to the outside of the tank. The tanks contain gasoline, diesel fuel and kerosene.

The overall Standard is NFPA 30A. See NEC Articles 500 and 501 for the basic electrical requirements and Article 514 for the specifics. NFPA 497 notes gasoline is Class I, Group D, T2A and kerosene is Class I, Group D, T3 (That's about all you need from 497 in your case)

In general, diesel can be ignored as a "fuel source" but, depending on the proximity to the gas and kerosene systems, it may still need some attention. Without a detailed layout, it's impossible to say much more in the forum.
