NFPA 850, the separation distance considers the oil containment edge (foundation, catch basin, bund....etc) without the consideration of gravel presence.

IEC-61936-1, gives the separation criteria from internal foundation edge, with no consideration for gravel.

I know that gravel is used mainly to suppress oil fire and don't know that the oil inside a catch basin will still continue to burn with gravel on top of it. Any clues?
