Which statement is true regarding room storage of flammable liquids without an approved cabinet?

• A. up to 5 gallons allowed
• B. up to 25 gallons allowed
• C. up to 60 gallons allowed
• D. up to 120 gallons allowed

Answer: (B)

When flammable liquids are stored in a room that does not have an approved cabinet, the amount you can keep there is limited to a relatively small fuel load. This keeps the potential fire load manageable and reduces the risk of a large spill feeding a fire in an open space. The limit is 25 gallons for the total quantity in that room, counted as the aggregate of all containers. You can have multiple containers as long as their combined volume does not exceed 25 gallons. If you need more than that, you must use an approved, listed storage cabinet or place the liquids in a compliant storage setup designed for flammable liquids. Why the other options don’t fit: those higher quantities exceed the permissible room-stored amount without an approved cabinet and would require switching to cabinet storage or another compliant arrangement.
