NFPA 30 Location Requirements

NFPA 30 Location Requirements

NFPA 30 Location Requirements

(OP)
Can someone please confirm that I have fully understood the location requirements as stipulated in NFPA 30.

Assuming I have 2 nos. Gasoline Storage Tanks with a diameter of 11m equipped with Internal Floating Roofs according to Table 22.4.1.1 (a) as long as they are not within 11m of any property line then NO fire fighting equipment is required?

This seems to be very relaxed considering that if they had an emergency vent they would have to be over 100m away to be able to not have any fire fighting system.

I of course understand that with an IFR the chance of fire is greatly reduced however it seems to be too lenient and I am concerned that I am missing something.
