Fuel oil and diesel is the same thing but like I said most fuel oil sold on the open retail market is #1 or a mix. May even have some kero in it. As you can see from my handle I do not need to deal with such problems. In fact most all loading racks around here only have #2. Out of the 10 loading racks in my area only 1 of them has kero or #1 diesel/fuel oil and it is 100 miles away from me. Additives to control algae would be a jobber added item. I suspect a lot of them add it to keep the customers happy. That’s like the place I work has truck stops all over the US. We do not need to worry about algae because we move so much fuel in a short amount of time but we always add stuff to our diesel in the winter to prevent jelling. (kero; #1; deicers) Do we do it for the customer?? That is a debatable topic but I would say yes. Some say we do it to keep the pumps working and that may be true since we do not winterize southern fuel even though the truck may be headed north.
