Suggested Practice Regarding Installation of Low-pressure Storage Tanks
Access: All openings and accessories for tanks API standard 650 storage tank constructed according to this standard shall be installed so that any periodic inspections required can be readily made.
Corrosion: When a tank bottom rests directly on the ground, a survey shall be made to establish the need for cathodic protection.
Drainage: All tanks in which water might accumulate under the hydrocarbon contents shall be provided with adequate drains that are suitably protected from freezing.
