fuel storage facility


Explanation:
Este termenul cel mai larg, din cate imi dau eu seama, care include toate alternativele (depot, storehouse etc.) si este utilizat in cazul aeroporturilor, dupa cum reiese din exemple.

Example sentence(s):
  • Skytanking Holding GmbH and Flughafen Stuttgart GmbH (FSG) today announced the signing of a contract for the construction and operation of the new aviation fuel storage facility at Stuttgart International Airport.
  • With the increasing numbers of aircraft making their home at Addison and a higher frequency of daily flights, airport officials determined that it was time to replace the ageing underground fuel storage facility.

oil depot


Explanation:
An oil depot (sometimes called a tank farm, installation or oil terminal) is an industrial facility for the storage of oil and/or petrochemical products and from which these products are usually transported to end users or further storage facilities. An oil depot typically has tankage, either above ground or underground, and gantries for the discharge of products into road tankers or other vehicles (such as barges) or pipelines.

Asker: multumesc pt raspuns! m-am uitat la articolul de pe wiki dar se pare ca acel tank farm este mult mai mare si situat in apropierea rafinariilor. Totusi, sotul meu care este englez, sugerase tank farm. Poate si alti colegi isi spun parerea si ne lamurim.
