Advice request on Dealer situation

[LarryRB]

20 years ago I also had a gas station, Chevron to be exact. With newly re-ligned fiberglass tanks, clean, etc, and by the end of 6 months there was 2 -4 inches of water in them.. Didn't have the water monitoring like now is the law, we still checked them every day.. Water (IS) in the gas and diesel as it's loaded at the tank farm. For anyone to say water and I won't return to that station doesn't know or understand you can't stop it.. Did you know as they pump off a tanker in New Haven CT or Rhodel Island to the tank farm that while they are pumping the fuels inland, they are pumping sea water at the same time filling the void in the tank? IF they didn't, the ships would bob around violently and break apart while unloading.,.. They were and I'm not sure it's happening today, they were litteraly vacuuming the gas remnants off those holds as the sea water filled them, This vacuumed gas was also sent inland and thus the term of bildge gas.. This was thegas sent to the no name, ten cents per gallon stations back then..

Not anymore, at least not for any fuel loaded from Revere, Mass. There, all gas comes from the same storage tank. The brand specific additives and coloring are added at the rack once the tanker truck has been loaded. So, there is no difference in the basic Citgo or BuyWise brands other than the additives added (or not added) to the transport truck.
