use the terms "aboveground storage tank." Instead the term "bulk storage
container" is used and is defined as "any container used to store oil. These

oil prior to use, while being used, or prior to further distribution in
commerce. Oil-filled electrical, operating, or manufacturing equipment is not
a bulk storage container."

its material and construction are compatible with the material stored and
conditions of storage such as pressure and temperature.
