   BigBill,

   I did post on the Wall as you suggested.  Thanks.

   So far, I've gotten responses between 5'-10', less with a rated wall between.  no definitive anser yet, though.  I'll post back here if I get an authoritative answer.

   It takes studs to build a house

   I believe you best pay attention in school or you'll end up speeling like some of the maroons on BT.

   He's 14, he needs to stick with it. Being able to spell won't hurt him, there's no shortage of those who can't.

   outdoors with it's own containment pit...

    

   Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming

   WOW!!! What a Ride!
   Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!

   "outdoors with it's own containment pit..."

   I would worry too much about the cold geling the oil.  Negative temps are routine  in my neck of the woods...which is the last time you want to worry about your fuel supply.

   the rest is yur problem...

   I'm not quite sure where you live, but in upstate NY, indoor tanks are commonplace. 

   Is "outdoor-only" the code in your neck of the woods?

   Mtns of Colorado..

   for diesel and fuel oil it is and varies from county to county......

   "...varies from county to county..."

   Always amusing to see such variations in basic code requirements. You'd think the laws of physics (vapour and flash points of home heating oil/diesel) varied county to county. ;)

   it's leak/spill containment they're after...

   that's why the containment pit...

   spill fuel indoors and you can find that the building stands a chance of being razed...

   The inspector in my town in CT says 60" from source of ignition, if closer due to hardship, then 5/8firestop wall

   Thanks.  That does sound somewhat similar to other things I've heard...
