Oil tank - Sekiyu tank

Japanese: 石油タンク - せきゆタンク
Oil tank - Sekiyu tank
A liquid storage tank for storing crude oil and petroleum products (gasoline, kerosene, etc.). Crude oil storage tanks are found at oil storage bases, while storage tanks for petroleum products are installed at refineries. They are cylindrical, with flat, round, conical, or other roof shapes. From a safety standpoint, sufficient consideration is given to the design and construction of tanks to prevent damage from fires, earthquakes, typhoons, etc. In addition to the regulations in JIS B 8501 (Structure of steel oil storage tanks (fully welded)), the Fire Service Act also provides detailed regulations regarding storage capacity, installation location, earthquake resistance, wind pressure resistance, and fire resistance for fuel oil tanks used in boilers, etc.
