What is the difference between Expansion and construction joint?
A construction joint is required to allow the structure to be built. Say there is an existing structure in the way of a wall. Part of the wall is built, then later the existing bit is removed, and the rest of the wall constructed. The place where the first and second parts of the wall meet is a construction joint. This kind of joint is usually built so that no movement is allowed. An expansion joint is one that allows movement between the two elements. There will be a comparitely soft material, such as rubber, asphalt or impregnated board placed between the parts. The latest innovation has lead to use non bituminous filler boards like polymer based HD100 board. It is also known as micro cellular filler boards. (More details about filler boards you have to visit hd100.in or kampun.com from there in-depth product knowledge available.) If it is concrete construction, any reinforcing bars will be arranged to allow movement. In most cases, if movement was prevented, the structure would crack or buckle. The joint allows controlled movement.

What distance should bund wall be from diesel tank?
The bund wall needs to be high enough to contain the volume of the largest tank within its boundaries, plus precipitation and firefighting water. The distance of the wall from the tank needs to be far enough so that waves deflecting of the tank side are not allowed to cross over the top of the bund wall. There is no codified or fixed distance that I'm aware of, but potential waves should be taken in to account with your design.
