Industry Codes & Standards For Underground Oil Storgage Tanks (UST) & Systems
Federal UST regulations often require that industry codes and standards be followed (where applicable) to ensure that the UST system works properly. For example, all UST systems must be designed, constructed, and protected from corrosion in accordance with a code of practice developed by a nationally recognized association or independent testing laboratory.
EPA has also included the use of industry codes for other sections of the rule, such as upgrading, repairing, and closing USTs. Industry codes and standards provide a means for improving methods or developing alternative methods of UST system management in a timely manner.
The UST regulations provide a flexible approach to codemaking by relying on nationally recognized organizations to develop new and improved codes and practices. EPA realizes that industry codes and standards may be updated periodically. EPA regulations do not require the use of a particular issue of any code. EPA encourages owners/operators to use the version of the code or standard that is current at the time the activity occurs.
Listed below are some industry codes and standards. Please be aware that there may be other codes or standards not listed here that may be used to meet regulatory requirements. Also be aware that inclusion on the list below does not necessarily imply EPA endorsement of either the code or the developing organization.

Available from the NFPA website https://catalog.nfpa.org/, here are excerpts from the 2016 NFPA 31 Oil Tank standard:
Guard against fires in heating equipment with NFPA 31: Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment.
Updated in the 2016 Edition to reflect the latest developments in fuels and appliances, NFPA 31 is the benchmark for the correct installation of boilers, air heaters, and other liquid fuel-burning equipment, and their fuel supplies. Designers, contractors, and installers rely on this Standard for guidance that protects property and building occupants by ensuring a fire-safe installation.
Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) and insurance underwriters depend on NFPA 31 requirements to verify the safety of installations in industrial, commercial, and residential occupancies.
The Standard covers all liquid fuels that are approved for use in oil-burning appliances.
In addition to addressing heating appliances that use No. 2 fuel oil and other petroleum-based oils, the Standard includes requirements for appliances that use other acceptable fuels -- including biodiesel blends, biofuels, and recycled lubrication oil.
Comprehensive chapters present requirements for the installation and operation of appliances, air for combustion and ventilation, venting of combustion gases, and storage tanks and piping systems for liquid fuels. - NFPA 326, "Standard for the Safeguarding of Tanks and Containers for Entry, Cleaning, or Repair"

Excerpt:
The storage of hazardous liquids has never been more reliable. This assertion reflects the tremendous progress over the last two decades in developing tanks and appurtenances (in response to regulations and standards) that incorporate the best thinking that leads to safe, long-term performance.
However, that does not mean there will never be another release from an underground or aboveground storage tank system.
New products and services will continue to surface as the industry defines even higher standards of performance. The Handbook of Storage Tank Systems reflects the invaluable contributions of experts in standards, manufacturing, installation, and specification of storage tank systems. Each author deserves our thanks for shedding light on the best equipment and methods for storing or handling petroleum or chemicals. - U.S. Environmental Protection Agency EPA Underground Oil Storage Tank Regulations include -
