Beware that some municipalities and Electrical utilities recommend in excess of the NEC & NFPA clearances of at least 25 feet in all directions between fuel storage tanks up to 2,000 gallons and electrical equipment or energized lines. Smaller clearance could be allowed for small fuel tanks in a few hundred gallons.
