    • less than 2 500 L for a tank that is to contain gasoline, fuel ethanol or aviation fuel,
    • less than 5 000 L for a tank that is to contain diesel fuel, biodiesel fuel or fuel oil;
  • where the planned construction work involves the installation or removal of an aboveground petroleum equipment installation outside a building when the installation was manufactured and a tank was connected by piping, during the manufacturing, to an apparatus designed to use, dispense or transfer a petroleum product, and the tank’s capacity is:
    • less than 2 500 L for a tank that is to contain gasoline, fuel ethanol or aviation fuel,
