The AHJ is following 2007 but the insurance carrier may be following a
newer version.

The last couple of FM jobs I've done required both a double wall tank
and a containment dike.

NFPA 20, 2010 11.4.1.2.4 Fuel tansk shall be enclosed with a wall, curb
or dike sufficient to hold the entire capacity of the tank.

This isn't in the 2007 edition at least not in the fuel tank section, so
it must be new.

Subject: Diesel fuel tank

We have an existing system with a diesel fuel pump and tank(280gpm) that
was installed back in 1991.  The insurance carrier is requesting that
either a new duel wall tank or a dike containment system be installed.
I have looked through NFPA 20 and didn't see anything requiring either.
Should I be looking in a different place?

Thanks,

Dewayne
