A. Kerosene tanks are addressed separately from other combustible liquid storage tanks within Section 180.20 d-f of the rules. Although kerosene is indeed a combustible liquid, it has long been treated differently in the OSFM rules. This section of the rules allow for the indoor storage and dispensing of kerosene in tanks of up to 60 gallons in capacity. Furthermore, outdoor aboveground kerosene storage tanks are allowed to be installed even at self-service retail gas stations, only eight feet from roadways.
