I would agree with OH2 (or even OH1). It is a combustible liquid in a closed system.

Chief Life Safety Engineer -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Phelan Sent: Monday, March 10, 2008 1:51 PM To: [email protected] 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.
