Petroleum tanks are well protected against rifle fire. Period.

“Petroleum tanks are well protected against rifle fire. Period.”

And the tanks held only kerosene based jet fuel anyway, which is made to be hard to ignite on purpose.

There’s virtually no way the jet fuel would be ignited by any sort of small arms incendiary or tracer round.
