The safety distance between two adjacent diesel storage tanks shall meet the following requirements: 1. When the diameter of the larger tank among the adjacent tanks of two oil depots is greater than 53m: The safety distance between the adjacent tanks of the two oil depots shall not be less than the diameter of the larger tank among the adjacent tanks, and shall not be less than 80m. 2. When the diameter of the adjacent tanks of two oil depots is less than or equal to 53m: The safety distance between any two tanks of the two oil depots shall not be less than 1.5 times the diameter of the larger tank, and shall not be less than 60m for buried tanks, and not less than 30m for tanks storing other flammable and combustible liquids.
