In california they are snowflakes. Everywhere else but Florida they are zinc flakes. There they are called sink flakes.

That more or less matches what I've heard as well. Not good chemical reactions & the galvinizing flakes off creating gritty contamination.

I also ran into problems in the mid 80s with the first introduction of E10 gasoline. I was repairing Volvo automobiles for a living back then and they had galvanized gas tanks. The ethanol was dissolving the galvanized coating and clogging the filters and injectors. I began draining every fuel filter I removed during a tune up to check for the use of E10. The fuel would come out of the filter silver in color and after sitting a few hours it would settle out as clear gas on top with the dissolved coating in the bottom.

These are my favorites...
No-Spill Containers

Put a pad on the hood, stand it up and just press the button! :thumbsup:

Actually the diesel dissolves the zinc coating, and it ends up clogging fuel filters and trashing your injectors. I do use a galvanized funnel just to pour the diesel into the tractors, but I would not store diesel in a galvanized tank or can. My new favorites are the NoSpill cans with push button control. I have seen them in red, blue, and yellow.

Does your finger get tired of holding the button down......saw such and that was my first question.
