What Are The Different Types of Fuel Storage Tanks For Farms?
Farms utilize above-ground, underground, and portable fuel storage tanks made from steel, fiberglass, or plastic. These tanks are crucial for storing diesel, gasoline, and other fuels for agricultural machinery. Regulations from OSHA and the EPA, including the SPCC Plan for farms storing over 2,500 gallons, govern their safe use and environmental protection. As the demand…

Above Ground vs Underground Fuel Storage Tanks
The main difference between Above Ground Storage Tanks (ASTs) and Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) lies in installation, cost, and maintenance. ASTs are quicker and cheaper to install, easier to maintain, and allow visible leak detection. USTs, on the other hand, require excavation, have higher installation costs, and make leak detection more challenging. Fuel storage tanks…

Renewable Diesel vs. Biodiesel: What’s the Difference?
Renewable diesel cuts hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide emissions, while biodiesel reduces carbon monoxide and particulates. Renewable diesel is a drop-in fuel used in existing diesel engines without modifications, whereas biodiesel is a blend that may require infrastructure adjustments. Biodiesel is typically less expensive than renewable diesel. Several clean diesel fuels have emerged in the search…

What Happens If You Put Gas in a Diesel Engine?
Putting gasoline in a diesel engine strips away the fuel’s lubricating properties, causing metal-on-metal contact in the fuel pump and injectors. If the engine is running, gasoline also ignites too early in the compression cycle (pre-detonation), which can crack pistons and damage cylinder heads. The severity depends on how much gas was added and whether…
