Final answer:

The 'domed-roof storage tank' is not a common type of flammable liquid storage tank found at refineries or tank farms; tanks typically found include atmospheric, fixed-roof, floating-roof, and pressurized storage tanks.

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of flammable liquid storage tank that is NOT typically found at a refinery or tank farm would be the domed-roof storage tank. At a refinery, you will commonly find atmospheric storage tanks, which operate at atmospheric pressure, and fixed-roof or floating-roof tanks, which are designed to reduce evaporation losses. Pressurized storage tanks are used for gases that are turned into liquids under high pressure, such as LPG or LNG. The dome-roof storage tank is not a common term used in the industry, which often utilizes cones or domes as elements of other tank designs, such as the fixed-roof or floating-roof tanks.
