Storage conditions for diesel engine fuel (typically diesel fuel) must strictly adhere to safety and quality standards to ensure performance, extend service life, and prevent risks such as fire and leakage. Key storage requirements are as follows:
Storage Facility and Container Requirements
Dedicated Storage Space: Diesel fuel must be stored in dedicated warehouses or independent storage rooms classified as Class C or higher fire hazard. Building fire resistance ratings, fire compartments, and emergency exits must comply with regulations.
Storage Quantity Limits
Intermediate Storage: Intermediate diesel storage areas within factory buildings should not exceed 2m³ (or daily consumption) and must be separated from other areas by firewalls and non-combustible floors with a fire resistance rating of at least 1.5 hours.
Oil Storage Rooms: For oil storage rooms supporting equipment like fire emergency pumps, the storage capacity per room should not exceed 1m³.
Storage Cabinets: Diesel storage cabinets installed at usage sites should maintain on-site inventory below 200L. They must be independently installed, distant from ignition sources, heat sources, power sources, and primary load-bearing structures.
Container Specifications: Dedicated oil drums or standard-compliant storage tanks must be used, ensuring proper sealing to prevent moisture and impurity contamination.
