A tank with a capacity not exceeding 660 gallons may be installed outside, provided it is separated from adjoining property by what distance for tanks over 275 gallons?

For a tank with a capacity not exceeding 660 gallons and that has a capacity greater than 275 gallons, the regulations specify a separation distance from adjoining property to ensure safety and minimize risk in case of leaks or spills. The requirement for a 10-foot separation distance is established in the relevant codes to reduce the potential impact on surrounding properties and facilitate proper emergency access if needed. This distance accounts for various factors, including the volume of the tank, the potential for spill containment, and fire safety measures.

Choosing a 10-foot separation distance demonstrates a balance between practical installation and adherence to safety standards, which are designed to protect not only the installation site but also neighboring properties and the environment.
