You must have a very different shaped tank to ours, the total side surface area on our tanks is 2.28 sq mtrs, the top is .28 sq mtrs, we have tall thin tanks so it is worth keeping them full.<br />I agree there is a lot of hysterical rubbish on the internet regarding the use of road fuel,(hence the cartoon) we also have put a few cans of "White" in to see if we noticed any difference, none at all, however we do have a modern Beta engine which the Beta engineers tell me will run ok on almost anything, I know one boater who uses Kerosene with no problem. We had never used a fuel additive until last week when we topped up our heating tank and decided to buy some, we have never had a hint of Diesel Bug but I have seen it and its awful stuff so better safe than sorry.No Directionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05379672816296227920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5355838080844642105.post-16547047997836514932010-12-15T08:27:49.028+00:002010-12-15T08:27:49.028+00:00The biggest single surface on a fuel tank is the t...The biggest single surface on a fuel tank is the top and bottom surface. To wipe out condensation in your fuel tank you would have to keep it brimmed constantly. Not something that is easy to do with a boat.<br /><br />There is a lot of rumour going around about the new diesel we will get for marine use, most of which is utter nonsense. We have used a mixture of road diesel and red diesel in our boat for two years and have not noted any ill effects nor excess water in the filters. We dont use fuel additives either and have no signs of fuel bug.Naughty-Calhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06266614472914124966noreply@blogger.com
