It\u2019s not cheap to keep your home warm till spring, what with rising fuel prices. If you\u2019re thinking of storing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tayloroilco.com\/Products-Services\/Fuels\">fuel<\/a> at your house, keep these three factors in mind before you do this, as you need to preserve fuel properly so it doesn\u2019t spoil or freeze.<\/p>\n<h2>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Decide on Container and Tank Material<\/h2>\n<p>Which material will you use for your tank or container? Both plastic and metal have benefits and drawbacks.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Metal containers are more expensive than plastic. They also conduct heat, which means they\u2019re dangerous to handle if they aren\u2019t properly insulated.<\/li>\n<li>Metal containers may rust or corrode with exposure to untreated fuel.<\/li>\n<li>Plastic containers, while lighter and cheaper options, aren\u2019t as durable as metal and tend to break down over time with sunlight or high temperature exposure.<\/li>\n<li>Metal containers are more durable and are able to withstand higher temperatures than their plastic counterparts.<\/li>\n<li>Metal won\u2019t warp or deform over time, so it\u2019s better for long-term storage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Clean the Container and Tank<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s important to prepare your tanks for the new fuel before you add anything to them. Because the presence of dirt, debris, or water can result in issues if the fuel freezes, you\u2019ll have to clean the containers and tanks.Store the containers and tanks in a warm area to keep the fuel from freezing. If this isn\u2019t possible, add insulation to the tank or container to reduce the chance of heat loss. Be sure to fill the containers and tanks as much as you can, as a full tank or container reduces the amount of air inside. Too much air leads to condensation, and thus water in the fuel.<\/p>\n<h2>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Apply Fuel Additives<\/h2>\n<p>Research which additives will help you preserve quality through the winter months, depending on what kind of fuel you decide to use. Less volatile than gasoline, diesel fuel won\u2019t evaporate as much or as quickly. It also gives you more fuel flow consistency to your generator. On top of that, diesel won\u2019t condense as readily on cold surfaces. However, both fuel types will need additives such as fuel stabilizers, anti-freeze and anti-gel, with gasoline requiring more additives than diesel.<\/p>\n<p>Fuel expiration is the biggest challenge associated with storing gasoline in the winter. Fuel freezing is another big challenge.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fuel stabilizers will prevent the fuel from breaking down, forming gums and sediments that can clog fuel lines.<\/li>\n<li>Anti-gel prevents fuel from gelling in cold weather<\/li>\n<li>Anti-freeze prevents the formation of ice in the fuel tank.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Are you planning to store fuel this winter?
