RP100-20 Recommended Practices for Installation of Underground Liquid Storage Systems, 2020
The PEI RP100-20 Recommended Practices for Installation of Underground Liquid Storage Systems, 2020, published by the Petroleum Equipment Institute (PEI), serves as a critical industry reference for contractors and inspectors engaged in underground fuel system installation. This publication, aligned with environmental protection standards and the requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), outlines procedures for proper tank placement, piping, and containment for underground liquid storage systems. Used by professionals preparing for state contractor and mechanical licensing exams through 1 Exam Prep, RP100-20 ensures compliance with safety codes governing petroleum handling and tank installation. The text is widely referenced in Florida and national contractor exam prep programs for its technical specifications and installation best practices within underground utility and environmental systems training.
Recommended Practices for Installation of Underground Liquid Storage Systems (2020 Edition)
PEI RP100-20 applies to underground, atmospheric and shop-fabricated tanks, associated piping, and equipment up to and including the emergency shear valve intended to dispense gasoline, diesel and related petroleum products into motor vehicles at retail, commercial and government vehicle fueling facilities. If this recommended practice is used as a guide to the installation of underground storage tank systems containing substances other than petroleum, the user must ensure that the storage system materials and components are compatible with and applicable to the substance to be stored.
PEI RP100-20 does not address practices associated with the installation of storage systems for liquefied petroleum gases, liquefied natural gases or compressed natural gases.
The practices recommended in this publication are limited to installation procedures.
This document is not meant to provide interpretation of regulatory or legislative requirements related to underground storage systems, nor does it endorse or recommend particular materials, equipment, suppliers or manufacturers. The inclusion of procedures for the installation of equipment or devices is not meant to imply that such equipment or devices should always be used. Nothing in this document is intended to discourage the development and implementation of new installation methods and procedures.
