Maximum rate of liquid level rise inside tanks with floating roof?

Maximum rate of liquid level rise inside tanks with floating roof?

Maximum rate of liquid level rise inside tanks with floating roof?

(OP)
Hello. This question is also cross-posted over at the Mechanical Eng'g forum.

I work in a petroleum terminal and we have a concern about our floating roof tanks. We have a 40-ft diameter vertical cylindrical tank with external floating roof that receive product pumped from a marine vessel.

Is there a safe maximum allowable rate of liquid level rise inside a floating roof tank? Currently we observe a rate of about 8 meters per hour and we are concerned that this could lead to the tipping of the floating roof.

Thanks in advance for any reply.
