(OP)
Am trying to fill up a datasheet on Atmospheric Tank by API 2000. I need to know the range of L/D ratio for atmospheric tanks.
Could an expert in this area furnish me with the necessary range.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Urgent Info!
I don't know what data goes in your datasheet, but API tanks are not measured nor designed by their "L/D" (Length/Diameter) ratio. I also don't know what makes you think this would be a worthy ratio or characteristic to know about API storage tanks. What is more important is wind loads, stability, type of roof, size of available and usable steel plates, etc., etc, and other more practical criteria.

If the ground shakes (i.e. earthquakes) then all bets are off and you had better get with your civl/structural team and see if you can optimize the tank cost.
Keeping to standard plate sizes is a good idea since you minimize field cutting and material wasteage.

It has been a week since you alarmed everyone with your "urgency". Crying "Wolf" or acting like Chicken Little is making a reputation for you with the end result that no one is going to respond next time.
You could at least have the courtesy and education to say "thank you, but I no longer need your help".
