Quick question:
Keeping air compressor next to tank for diesel storage (2500L) should be avoided or if control measures implemented it can be kept within building?
Thanks

Lukasz,
Diesel is fuel, a compressor, electric or diesel is a possible souce of ignition think FRA and levels of housekeeping you can practically achieve with a diesel tank.

Diesel isn't much of a flammable risk. Its flashpoint/auto ignition temp is too high.
Its not even classed as flammable under CHIP.
Its really only any issue if spray/high pressure leaks can happen, especially in a restricted space.
There also has to be a strong source of ignition e.g. a very hot surface or naked flame.
Its more of an environmental issue if it leaks - bund the tank.
Ensure the tank is inspected/in good order and try to use continuous pipe if possible to restrict the chance of leaks, if need be.
