Diesel Fuel Tank Corrosion

Posted by Roger46 on October 23, 2005 at 17:51:30 from (69.58.128.88):

I have a Farmall MD that I only drive limited time each year just around the yard and in parades and shows. I only burn 10 gallons of fuel a year. Today I went out to check the fuel level in the tank and I could hardly get the cap off. Once I got it off I could see that the cap and tank are rusty especially above the diesel level. I was surprised to see this as my gas tractors don't do that and they are in the shed next to the diesel and also I would think diesel would keep the tank from rusting. Anyone know why this is and if there is some way to prevent further corrosion. I try to keep the tank full in the winter to reduce water accumulation. Roger
