If they store and hydraulically transfer pump flammable lubricants, you could make a case for that density, or even .40/2,500, which would be EH Group 2. How independent is this facility? How many service bays? Our firm has just taken in a new project that includes the bus maintenance facility for a regional school district. 26 service bays, tire storage ... the whole enchilada. There will be at least three and maybe four separate design areas for the various hazards and commodities; it's hard to generalize.

FM Global Data Sheet 3-26 classifies it as Hazard Category 3, or 0.30/2,500, which is equivalent to Extra-Hazard Group 1. This would put it in the same category as aircraft hangers, particle board manufacturing plants, and print shops that use low flash point inks. Seems excessive to me. David Bitton, ing.
