best tank additive

Rick_41

I have some new tanks and some old ones. I've never cut apart an old tank but I have heard that sludge happens. I used Hercules products that as far as I can tell is nothing more than expensive mineral spirits.

Question: Do you think occasional oil additives are necessary?



Will they create more problems if you add them to an older tank that hasn't been treated in a while (or ever?) 



I found this site,..has anyone used this product? Ever see any independent reviews of these products anywhere.

Better then a additive

Install the tanks correctly a additive would not be needed and the tank would last last a lot longer too .. Water laying in the bottom breeds sludge .. A bug lives between the laver , eats the oil and poops out sludge .. The bugger can not digest the sulfur and poops out sulfuric acid too ...Great for a steel tank ...right !!! Pitch the tank toward the valve , install legs high enough to place a filter at valve ...Any water will empty in the filter ...Sure sludge would breed at that point ..So once a year change the filter and empty the filter can ... Stay away from top feed tanks too ...Same reason ..

Fuelright works.  It breaks up the sludge.



Good stuff.
