Question

question: you work for a manufacturing plant that will be receiving a tank full of flammable liquid. its your job to decide where this above - ground tank will be located. which requirement should be met when locating the tank within a building on the manufacturing site?
choose the correct option and then select done.
o check that the tank is no more than two feet away from other above - ground flammable tanks
o make sure that the vents will be piped to the outdoors
o make sure the emergency relief valves are disabled in case theres a fire nearby
o close the relief vents on the tank so any pressure buildup is contained within the tank

Explanation:

When locating a tank with flammable liquid within a building, safety regulations require that vents (which release pressure) are piped outdoors. This is to prevent flammable vapors from accumulating indoors (which could lead to fire or explosion risks). Disabling emergency relief valves (even in case of a nearby fire) is dangerous as they are crucial for pressure - relief. Closing relief vents would trap pressure (risking tank rupture). The two - feet distance rule is likely less critical compared to venting outdoors as a primary safety measure for indoor tank venting.

Answer:

Make sure that the vents will be piped to the outdoors.
