Yes,
You’re absolutely right
the tank will be insulated.
I have foreseen insulation for the tank and whole the piping to which this little tank is connected to.
The environmental facor of API = 1(= full effect of fire) has been taken into account.

btw the medium is CH2CL2.

At this high point I want to connect a relief valve to
reduce pressure in case of external fire.
my question:
at this high point: can a relief valve discharge...
