(OP)
I have a small tank for Vegetable or animal Oil 30 ft dia by 8 ft high need to know if 3/16 plate can be used? API 650 requires normally a minimum of .25 or 6mm is there a way out for an application that would be inside a building?

Again, use UL-142 or use stainless steel tank and Appendix S of API650 which allows 3/16".

and the tank is also sitting on a full concrete pad. API tanks are either on a concrete ring or on an earth slab.

30 foot diameter by 8 foot shell.......about 42,000 gallons
Yet...it is somehow indoors ???
This means that there are no columns within this building with at least 30 foot spans ?
Is this some kind of used vegetable oil storage tank located within a hockey rink ???
Why would you not want to break this volume up into two or three smaller tanks ? Perhaps two nice horizontal tanks, on saddles.... about 10-12 foot diameter ???
