Title
Dismantling and Disposing of Steel from Aboveground Leaded Gasoline Storage Tanks

American Petroleum Institute

Publication Date:
Jan 1, 1991

Scope:

1.1 Scope

This publication outlines precautions to prevent hazardous exposure of personnel to lead antiknock compounds while dismantling and disposing of the steel from aboveground petroleum storage tanks that previously contained leaded gasoline and have been declared free from any lead hazard. It is confined to this subject and does not include precautions for other hazards such as other toxic materials that may be present and ignitions associated with working on or in tanks. Even when a tank has been declared free from any lead hazard, there remains the potential for volatilizing lead residue during cutting operations. Therefore, appropriate precautions should be taken to protect personnel from exposure to these hazards. For additional information concerning the conditions under which a tank is considered free from any lead hazard, see API Publication 2015.

Small (that is, 1000-barrel) capacity aboveground storage tanks are not covered by this standard because these tanks are not normally used as leaded-gasoline blending tanks. Consequently, the lead hazard is not as great.

Disposal of these smaller tanks should be treated in the same manner as disposal of underground storage tanks (see API Recommended Practice 1604).
