Steam supply to flammable storage tanks

Member Posts: 37
Can anybody tell me what codes, (NFPA or otherwise), governs the steam pressure, piping, and or safety devices required on flammable storage tanks (lube and fuel- 5,000 gallon type) that are heated with steam? I thought that such systems were limited to 15psi or less, but what scares me most is if things went bad, having a slug of lube and or waste fuel oil finding its way back in the condensate return to my huge steam boiler system. Train men please chirp-up!

Flamable storage tanks
ASME, ASHRA, and NFPA are a good reference point to start with.
