The safety distance between the oil tank and outdoor substations should not be less than 18 meters. Overhead power lines should not cross over the oil tank, and the safety distance should not be less than 5 meters. "Petroleum Storage Safety Management Regulations" 1. Strengthen Management: To enhance the safety production and supervision of petroleum storage facilities, prevent and reduce production safety accidents, and safeguard people's lives and property, these regulations are formulated in accordance with laws and administrative regulations such as the "Work Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Regulations on the Safety Management of Hazardous Chemicals." 2. Scope of Application: These regulations apply to the safety management and supervision of the construction, renovation, expansion, and production operations of petroleum storage facilities. The term "petroleum storage" in these regulations refers to above-ground storage facilities used by oilfields, refineries, sales, and transportation enterprises for the receipt, dispatch, and storage of crude oil, liquefied petroleum gas, refined oil, semi-finished oil, solvent oil, lubricating oil, and heavy oil. Petroleum storage facilities used for national defense research and production, as well as those within port areas, are not subject to these regulations. 3. Responsibility Attribution: The production and operation unit to which the petroleum storage belongs is the main body responsible for safety production. Its principal responsible person must ensure that the investment meets the needs of safety production and is fully responsible for the safety production work of the unit.
