What’s the life of gasoline in a situation like that?
6mo depending on temp
Colder or hotter makes it last longer ?
Usually gasoline is good for 6-12months in good/proper conditions once you buy it. I have no idea how long it takes to produce
The changes in temp is what does it. Just like boats condensation inside a tank is the issue. Having done steel for 30 years I know how to eliminate moisture in air. I have that all in my brain for it to function. You interested? We are buddies. If you wanna do it we can.
That's general for the populace. I've stored and used 3 year old gasoline. But it is more so the fluctuations in temp and humidity in air that hurt gasoline.
we have played around with diesel storage and condensation is the problem in SC. Additives help
When you use plasma cutting the air has to be nearly pure dry or you can't get the plasma arc to manifest.
We have two 100 gallon galvanized diesel tanks mounted to 16’ trailers we keep at our property. If it smells like turpentine we use it to kill ants and start fires.
You having issues w any combustion of the diesel thru pressure? If not I don't doubt you creditials if it came off that way. Gasoline like milk has a sell by date. .you ever had dehydrated milk? I did in Canada on 1977 or around there. Putting 45 million cars on the grid in 10 years is gonna down the system. Unless we can reach about 40% capacity. I'll drive combustion engines til I die.
We run a small 2014 kabota 3901 only issue I’ve had is white smoke and sputerring. Usually time to drain the tank and add sea foam because the fuels separated.
I was gonna say. Drop a 1/4can of seafoam per tank and it converts the h2o to ether or something similar iir. Yall good. IF you wanna dig a pit and prepare dm.
Will do ....can galvanized go in the ground or would it need to be a stainless tank...or maybe lined. I sell industrial insulation and have access to an asphalt lagging material we use to lagg insulation goin underground
The galvanized issue if health is whether you truck likes too 2.25 million miles and 2.234millilion miles
Done esta? Estoy in Cola or pocquito low country or a retard in Aiken up to and past the gorge.
it has more to do with separation of ethanol in the fuel. "TRUFuel" says good for 3 years I think, but It has no ethanol. I have tested "non ethanol" at some spots and they do in fact have ethanol.
