The PEI RP100 provides sound engineering and construction practice for the installation of underground liquid storage systems
PEI's Recommended Practices for Installation of Underground Liquid Storage Systems provides the most current information on sound engineering and construction practices with regard to the proper installation of underground liquid storage systems. This 41-page manual was prepared as an industry service by the Petroleum Equipment Institute (PEI). The recommended practice is truly an industry document, as oil company engineers, trade associations, environmental regulators, equipment manufacturers, installation contractors, etc., have had an opportunity to review and comment on the previous publication (PEI/RP100-2000) under the same name. The 2005 publication represents the fifth revision of the original 1986 document, and replaces and supersedes the 2000 edition as significant changes have been made to text, drawings and tables. A few of the revisions include:

  • A new chapter dedicated to preinstallation inspection and tank testing
  • Discussion of ballasting with fuel
  • A new section addressing release detection for satellite-dispenser piping
  • Expanded, revised and reorganized test procedures tables
  • A new chapter devoted to testing piping
The document contains sections on excavating, backfilling, anchoring, piping, release detection, cathodic protection, secondary containment, and other aspects of tank system installation. There are three appendices: the first showing formulas for calculating weight required to prevent tank floatout; the second describing procedures for calculating sacrificial anode requirements; and the third containing a current publication reference of other tank installation documents. The manual, which contains 33 line drawings, is completely indexed.

The recommended practice is a copyrighted publication by the Petroleum Equipment Institute, an international trade association for the petroleum marketing equipment industry. Established in 1951, PEI has over 1,680 members located in all 50 states in the U.S. and 81 territories/countries. 41 pp.
