Are fuel dispensing tanks for farm use addressed any differently by the applicable AST rules?
A. Yes. The Part 180 rules do address aboveground fuel dispensing storage tanks at farms differently than those located at other vehicle fleet locations. The rules allow for up to four aboveground fuel storage tanks for dispensing purposes to be located at a farm or agricultural facility (as opposed to the two aboveground fuel dispensing storage tanks allowed at other facilities). Furthermore, the rules for farm sites recognize relaxed standards that allow for gravity dispensing of fuel.
