What is the required permit for storing or using gasoline in amounts over 2½ gallons?

When storing or using gasoline in quantities exceeding 2½ gallons, a site-specific permit is required. This type of permit ensures that the specific location where the gasoline is being stored or used meets all relevant safety standards and regulations. It addresses the unique characteristics of the site, such as its proximity to buildings, environmental considerations, and the measures in place to mitigate fire hazards.

Such permits are crucial in preventing accidents and ensuring compliance with fire codes that aim to protect both public safety and property. By requiring site-specific permits, authorities can assess the risks associated with the storage and use of flammable substances like gasoline at particular locations, allowing for tailored safety measures that might not be addressed by a more generalized permit.
