Not more than how many gallons of combustible liquid may be stored in any one approved storage cabinet?

• A. 60
• B. 25
• C. 120
• D. 5

Answer: (C)

Storing flammable and combustible liquids in approved safety cabinets is regulated, with a clear per-cabinet capacity. The standard sets different limits based on the liquid’s flash point category: up to 60 gallons for flammable liquids, and up to 120 gallons for combustible liquids, in a single approved cabinet. Since this question refers to combustible liquids, the maximum you may store in one cabinet is 120 gallons. This is a per-cabinet limit, not per container, and the cabinet must be specifically approved for such storage. The higher limit for combustible liquids reflects their higher flash points and lower ignition risk compared to flammable liquids, while still maintaining safety through proper containment and fire-resistance.
