 Reference to Flammable Liquids Storage Cabinet Requirements:

According to The International Fire Code (IFC 2021), Section 5704.3.2 and NFPA 30 (Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code), Section 9.5.3, the maximum amount of Class II and Class III liquids that can be stored in a flammable liquids storage cabinet is 120 gallons.

This limit ensures safe containment, fire protection, and reduced risk of liquid ignition or spillage.

 Understanding Class II and III Liquids:

Class II liquids: Flash point between 100°F and 140°F (e.g., diesel fuel, kerosene).

Class III liquids: Flash point above 140°F (e.g., motor oil, cooking oils).

While these liquids are less volatile than Class I liquids, they still pose a fire risk, requiring proper storage in approved cabinets.

 Clarification of Incorrect Answer Choices:

A. 10 gallons → Incorrect

Too low; IFC and NFPA allow up to 120 gallons in storage cabinets.

B. 60 gallons → Incorrect

This is the maximum for Class I liquids, but Class II and III liquids are allowed up to 120 gallons.

D. 240 gallons → Incorrect

Exceeds the allowable limit per IFC 5704.3.2 and NFPA 30, which set the maximum at 120 gallons per cabinet.

 Conclusion:

The correct and verified answer is C (120 gallons) as per IFC 5704.3.2 and NFPA 30, ensuring compliance with flammable liquids storage safety standards.
