What is the requirement for labeling fuel oil storage tanks?

Fuel oil storage tanks must be clearly labeled with the type of fuel they contain and any applicable hazard warnings because this practice is essential for safety and regulatory compliance. Proper labeling helps to communicate important information about the contents of the tank to emergency responders, maintenance personnel, and anyone else who may need to interact with the system. It minimizes the risks associated with leaks, spills, or accidents by ensuring that everyone can quickly identify the nature of the fuel and the hazards it may present, including fire, toxicity, or environmental impact. Clear and accurate labels are a fundamental requirement in promoting safety and preventing misunderstandings or mishandling of fuel oil storage systems.
