The 5th edition of ANSI/API 2530 Overfill Prevention for Storage Tanks in Petroleum Facilities was published in September 2020. The revision was informed by regulatory concerns over several incidents of gross overfilling leading to serious consequences affecting employees and nearby communities. All incidents can be traced to loss of operational control of storage tanks, chiefly during filling activities, and are largely due to some combination of inadequate planning, inadequate supervision, and inadequate equipment. Implementation of the standard requires adjustment of user operating practices.
