Rank: Guest		Posted By ScotsAM I'm looking for some advice on whether there's guidance on storage - esp. seperation distances when storing acetylene canisters, diesel, oil etc. These will be stored seperately but generally around the same area. There is a nearby building.

Rank: Guest		Posted By SteveD-M As mentioned above BCGA Gn2 covers separation distances. Acetylene - 3m from 1m from toxic 3m from flammable materials/combustible materials/site boundary. You ned a copy of GN2 or at least the table.
