Should the fuel tank be installed with lightning rod?

Answer:

Therefore, from the viewpoint of fire safety, according to the total size of the oil depot, divided into several grades and formulate the corresponding fire safety standards, in order to ensure the oil depot builders more reasonable and long-term safety operation.
The oil depot mainly stores combustible crude oil and petroleum products. Most storage of light oil, such as gasoline, diesel, etc., some libraries also store lubricating oil, fuel oil and other heavy oil. The storage capacity of oil depot is bigger, more light oil, the business scope is wider, the greater the risk; in case of fire or explosion accidents, affecting a wide range of enterprises, and people's lives and property caused by the loss is great.
According to the national standard "code for the design of oil depots" (GBJ24), the oil depots are divided into four grades according to the total capacity of the stored oil in the oil depots. Different grades of fire safety requirements are different. The bigger the capacity, the higher the grade, the more stringent the fire safety requirements; the light components of oil, the more volatile, the more stringent requirements for fire safety. Total storage capacity of more than 50 thousand cubic meters of oil depot for large-scale construction projects.
