John, will be the first to admit that don't know about the composition of gasoline, diesel, fuel oil, or kerosene. Diesel always seemed thicker to the touch, and don't recall ever having to thin out fuel oil in cold conditions like do diesel. I do remember having had a filter (fuel oil) freeze up, but was because of moisture from condensation that actually froze up. So actually, fuel oil should then grow algea when sets in a storage tank for extended periods of time? I personally don't use or deal with fuel oil, but for those that do, should they be worried about this?

Thanks for the info. Mark
