Is it legal to store diesel fuel in a home tank?

In the US, yes, it's legal to store diesel fuel in a home tank, but it must meet specific requirements. The home heating oil tank must comply with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes and regulations. If the diesel is used for emergency power production for a generator or other home power systems, it must also comply with local and federal regulations. It's crucial to always adhere to safety precautions and obtain local permits or follow specific guidelines for proper diesel fuel storage. Consult a professional or your local fire department for definitive information on home heating oil tank requirements and regulations in your area.
