Basics
- This isn't using any official standard (as of now), and there may be overlap, but this aims to organize various containers used to store Liquid Fuel (and to a certain extent Gaseous Fuels / LPG / Cryogenic Fuels ) in order of volume/scale
- Also given that smaller tanks can be used in arrays equal to a larger tank, a design doesn't neccisarily dictate volume stored, but they have ranges (i can dig for them later, just jotting ideas down now)
- Essentially Can->Large Jobsite Can->Jobsite Tank->Large Building Tank->Airport/Industry/Port Sized Mega Tanks
List
Canned Fuel
"Gas Can" / Safety Can / Jerry Can
- RE: Liquid Fuel Cans
- Typically in the 1-40 Liter (0.5-10 Gallon) Range
Fuel Barrel
- 55 Gallon Drums can be used to dispense small amounts of Fuel/Lubricating oil etc
- Also the standard 20 Pound Propane Tank
Cylindrical Fuel Tanks
- Can be liquid or a similar sized Propane Tank
- "Horizontal tanks are generally small storage tanks with capacities of less than 40,000 gallons" (ONLY 40,000 lol)
Atmospheric Storage Tanks / Floating Roof Tanks etc
- "100,000-gallon external floating roof tank" !
Spherical Storage Tank
- "Spheres can be built from 1,000 barrels to 75,000 barrels of capacity" (36,000-2,700,000.0 GALLONS!)
