Food Oil vs Petroleum Oil

Food Oil vs Petroleum Oil

Food Oil vs Petroleum Oil

(OP)
Is there anything different about the design, construction, or inspection of vegetable oil storage tanks compared to petroleum oil?  I know that API strictly covers only petroleum, but is probably usually used for vegetable oil tanks as well.  Vegetable oil is less corrosive, with no sulfur, so are here more relaxed design standards, corrosion allowance, inspection frequency?  Thanks!

RE: Food Oil vs Petroleum Oil

FDA might have a say in the vegetable oil storage.
