YES, Old tanks can cause problems. The tank you spoke of being abandoned for a while...moisture due to condensation can promote rust. Then those rust and water particles find their way into your fuel system. Good fuel filters, depending on what your putting the fuel into, can can prevent this from being too large a problem. But the best cure is good prevention. Pressure your oil company a bit to provide good tanks. I deal with bulk oil in a diesel shop, and our company gives us a storage tank and pump at no charge so long as we buy a minumum lot of fuel. If this is not an option, take a flashlight (not a match) and inspect the inside of the tank. If it looks suspicious and flakey, don't take chances using fuel out of there which could cause damage to your farm jewels. CAB
