Fuel is dispensed from top-opening-only tanks with electric pumps. To supply this electric service, compliance with state and local standards for electrical safety is required. In some states this type of tank may be set upon bare soil, while in others (example: Indiana) the tank bottom may not be in contact with the ground. In Indiana, for instance, the uniform fire code for farm tanks requires that these tanks are to be placed on a stable base of timbers or blocks approximately 6 inches in height. Check for specific rules in other states.
