Whether buried underground, positioned above ground, or exposed in a basement, fuel-storage tanks have kept millions of cars and trucks, as well as businesses, industry, aircraft, homes, and the like adequately supplied with gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation fuel, and home heating oil for as long as distillate fuels have needed some form of bulk storage. Generally, the consumer rarely notices these tanks, nor does the consumer think about how fuel quality could be impacted by f

Preventing fuel related problems, such as those caused by ethanol and other noted fuel contaminants, are more important than ever. Most boaters, however, don’t know that using a gasoline or diesel fuel specially formulated for marine engines can significantly reduce fuel consumption and maintenance costs, extend marine engine life, and prevent ethanol and ultra-low sulfur diesel related problems. Marine engines can use up to 10 times more fuel per hour than the engine in a c
