[MW:10403] Reciprocating Compressor / API 618 /Query

Dear Experts/Advisers in Compressor Manufacturing,
 
I would like to know what should be the design Code for the Lub Oil Tanks in Compressor?
 
The Supplier is referring to their own Manufacturing Standard stating that this is just a Atmospheric Tank and if Cient insists then there will be Cost and Schedule impact.
The Client is insisting to use any International Code and Supplier to provide Calculation for the same.
 
Query.
1. Does API 618 refers to Lub Oil Tank, if so, which Section of API 618?  Also advise the Code of Construction,Inspection and Testing.
2. If API 618 does not refers then which International Code should be referred?
 
Hope to see as usual response from every corner.
 
Thanks & Regards
VPV - Doha
