Hi Gents
I am working on a fuel storage and dispensing facility. Initally the storage part was being done by others, and I have completed the design and coding of the dispesning side of it. However, it appears that I might also be now asked to contribute to the fuel storage side.
My question is whether the diesel fuel storage is to be treated as hazardous from control system point of view, and hence will need intrinsically safe barriers (among other things) or not? My understanding is that diesel is not readily flammable (flashpoint above 52 deg C) as petrol and some other fuels.
Thank you for your input.
Cheers.
