Still need more specifics. What type fuel station: bulk loading, public gas station? What fuels are present? Also what is your intent: fully automated with UV or IR sensing and total flood of foam agent? Halons won't provide the ability to seal the fuel surface of any spill and prevent flashback/reignition. Also, what type drainage system will you have and how will you control runoff? Dikes? Lined pond? What is potential fuel flow in fire situation? What is climate? Is sufficient water supply available if total flood is best option? etc, etc.

Here's something new a revolution in Fire Fighting:

'HI-FOG', the registered trade name of Marioff's water mist system, has become almost synonymous with the word 'high pressure water mist fire protection'.

The HI-FOG system is based on the use of pure water only. Special nozzles split the water into 'micro-droplets', providing efficient cooling of the fire as well as oxygen depletion. By attacking the heat and the oxygen, two of the three elements required to maintain a fire (the third one being fuel), HI-FOG is an efficient fire suppression system for all kind of fires and has proven its capability to extinguish or suppress accommodation fires, as well as fuel pool and spray fires in tests.
