So Dave would that make every home in NJ with oil fired furnace and the tank
in the basement an EH occupancy, or just the ones with the tank outside or
above the basement level? (Just my normal wise ass comments)
Doesn't NFPA 30 have some guidance on this?

Subject: Fuel Tank Rooms
How does the group feel on the occupancy classification of a rated room in
a building that contains a 275 Gal #2 Fuel tank for the rooftop generator?
The room is on the ground level and the tank is 130 feet above on the
roof.
The architect is calling this a OH2 hazard and protecting the room with a
single K5.6 QR Head @ .18 over 1500 Ft2. His reasoning is that the tank
is not combustible, just the product in it ....... Im leaning towards a
EH designation in the event of fire the fuel would be more than capable of
supporting combustion. At the very least I dont see the current
configuration as being adequate.
Thanks,
