Dear All,
What would be the fire zone of an aviation fuel (Jet A1) storage and handling area. It consists of 4 storage tanks, tanker loading area, tank loading facilities, etc.
Thanks

According to this typical MSDS for Jet fuel A-1, the flash point is >100F and the OSHA/NFPA classification is Combustable class 2

There can be considerable variation in properties for A-1
This thread would be better suited in the eng-tips "Storage Tank" forum
