The earliest reference I can find is NFPA 25 2007 in section 5.30, it has moved around since, but as others have pointed out, it's defined in there as a break tank.

I have researched earlier editions but I have not been able to find where the reliable automatic refill has been previously allowed; however, I recall this being the case. Am I overlooking something?
