IN NO CASE SHALL THESE PROVISIONS RESTRICT OR INTERFERE WITH THE PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THE NORMAL VENT OR THE EMERGENCY VENT.
(E) SPACING BETWEEN ADJACENT TANKS SHALL BE NOT LESS THAN 3 FEET (.9 METERS).
(F) THE TANK SHALL BE CAPABLE OF RESISTING THE DAMAGE FROM THE IMPACT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE OR SUITABLE COLLISION BARRIERS SHALL BE PROVIDED.
