Which document provides information on the minimum burial depth of underground propane tanks?

• A. NFPA 58 pg 58-40
• B. Maine Fuel Board Pg 2 Chapter 12
• C. NFPA 58 pg 100
• D. ASME Section 9

Answer: (A)

The information you need comes from NFPA 58, the standard for Liquefied Petroleum Gas storage and handling. This code covers how to safely install underground LPG tanks, including the minimum burial depth required to protect the tank from damage, frost, and environmental factors. The specific detail on burial depth is found in the section referenced by page 58-40. The Maine Fuel Board provides state rules, but the standard depth requirement is defined in NFPA 58, not in ASME Section 9 (which deals with welding) or a different page of NFPA 58. That’s why NFPA 58, page 58-40, is the best source for this information.
