My Dad drove a gasoline truck for a local company. He said, he would go to a gas station and unload half of the gas into their tank.

Well some gas stations have better storage procedures than others. For instance, 7-Eleven is known to have air leaked into their gas cu of fault gaskets or something? Air has water, gas absorbs water from the air, degrading the quality of gas. If I’m wrong, please let me know.

2 Things: 1. With Ethanol, if you get water in your gas, the Ethanol will mix with the water, drop out of the gas and become a Gooey white substance that will clog the fuel filter and injectors. 2. In rural areas its common for gas stations to have the exact same fuel. In an area I used to live, the fuel truck would stop at a Citgo, Mobile and Sunoco station all in the same trip. All three would get the exact same gas.

[@americansniper1641]

supawiz6991 right there’s a 3mill gallon place here in California very near to me so one day I decided to ask what bulk prices for gasoline see if he sold it me and I was surprised that you can walk into any of this places and buy gasoline in bulk bulk meaning more then 1000 gallons at a time the place I went to wanted to sell me 1500 gallons minimum it pretty much less then 1$ a gallon so anyone can have high amounts of gasoline at a time you all just need a giant gasoline tank in your house or property

[@gsjourney3054]

Haven’t seen a Sunoco in my area since I was 4

[@mike-uw6wt]

1. Use Star Tron 2. Wrong. It may be the same truck, but the truck has multiple tanks/chambers. Each company uses their own additive package to the same base gas.

[@supawiz6991]

mi ke I’m aware of the chambers. I should have added that I worked for the company and knew the driver. Trust me when I tell you it was the same stuff. Edit: I want to point out that I’m not saying that each brand doesn’t have their own. What I’m saying is in small rural markets the terminals may not have each brands fuel package. In the case of the market I lived in, even though the stations said Sunoco, Citgo and Mobile it ended up being the same fuel/additive package at each. As for the separation thing, yeah fuel stabilizer helps but the issue can happen at the stations as well. One of my responsibilities was to dip the tanks with wooden sticks with special water/separated ethanol paste on them to check for water and/or separated ethanol.

[@mike-uw6wt]

supawiz6991 thanks for the explanation. Makes sense that in rural places they just don’t have many terminals so sharing makes more sense. My idea of rural is 2 hours outside of my major city but realize that’s not that rural.

Always go to gas station that's well known, and keep your receipt. Watch out for strange named gas stations that are really cheap priced. Never get gas when tanker truck is refilling the station! Look for the state inspection sticker & date on the pump.

[@Cream_CurdlR]

because when they're refilling all the water and sludge that has accumulated in the tanks will get mixed up and you'll end up pumping that into your car

[@therealdontclickme]

Depending on the store that can be illegal, if it’s a 24 hour site then they have to have printers in working condition (with the exception of a broken one or two every so often) because a customer had to have the ability to get a receipt. But I wouldn’t put it past some stores to do this.

[@SlyNine]

I haul fuel, we pick up the same stuff as the next guy. Very rarely is there any sort of special additive. We pick up Offen Petroleum, Sinclair, Overland, Coffeyville, P66, Musket, Newstar, Suncor, etc. there's a market and all the gas stations are just trying to pick up the cheapest thing they can. For the most part you're just getting the same random fuel anywhere you go. Because most of them run outside carriers that just pick up the cheapest stuff they can and it's not specially tailored to any specific gas stop.

I found the price of gas was much higher in areas of oil production than in areas that had none.

I worked in a Shell, full service station when I was in high school, back in the 1960s. Working after school and weekends was a good source of money for a kid of a single parent. It was one of the highest volume of sales stations in the large Northeastern Florida city where I lived. At times I would be out on the island for 4 hours steady pumping gas, we could get that busy. Gas sales, no matter how little was bought included a cleaning of the windshield, check under the hood for the oil level, coolant level (when possible), and the battery's electrolyte level and lastly the tire air pressure. The full service was a requirement of the owner of the station. Some people would tell you to skip the service portion and just put in the gas and others would always want it done even if they bought a dollar's worth of gas. Gas at the time was like 30 cents a gallon for regular and 35 cents for premium. The gas wars that would happen from time to time would drop the prices down to as low as 22 cents a gallon for regular and 29 cents for premium; then that's when sales would really take off. I worked at that station until I had to go in the military which wasn't very long after graduation from high school. It was a great experience and I learned a lot about many things which included some interesting customers, if you know what I mean.

[@AceyMan66]

When I was studying for my FAA license the instructor (an old salty dog with decades of experience) told us you want to skip any station when the tanker truck is on site doing a delivery. Reason being that the unavoidable condensation in the tanks normally sits at the bottom of the ground tank (water is heavier than gas). The gas is drawn up by a floating pickup tube to take fuel from the top and avoid the water, but when the tanker floods the tank during the fill all the gas and water get mixed and take some time to settle out again, so if you pump your gas then you're likely to get water in your fuel (a bad thing, ask any mechanic). I've been following that tip ever since.

[@CL-mp4vn]

Thanks for the tip :)

[@MotoroidARFC]

True. I see a tanker at a station I go to another station. Not just the water but particulates as well which eventually clogs your fuel filter.

[@2godtheglory914]

[@trey8543]

jack smith I’m a fuel hauler in Oklahoma and I can confirm what Jim Bo says is correct. Pipeline gas is raw and blended with additives at the loading rack but the blend does not change between loading different brands. I literally get to see the additives being injected. I can load over 60 different suppliers or “brands” from the same line and the terminal basically blends everything to a spec that satisfies all of them. The only difference in the fuel is the way each company tries to market it. I say buy the cheapest gas you can find as long as it’s from a well kept store. Don’t go to the run down mom and pops their tanks always have traces of water in them and algae growing on the walls of their tanks which both effectively reduce octane rating and efficiency. Most chains and well kept stores do a yearly tank cleaning to prevent it.

I hear you. A local station was convenient, though more expensive. I suspected they were short changing, so checked my Fuelly records. I followed by carefully marking 1 gallon on my can and filled it from 3 of his pumps. Each gallon showed 1.1 gallons on the pump. I reported it, but 6 months later he was still short changing.

Always go to the newest fuel dispensers you can find.

At that time gas was $1.35 a gallon. While talking at lunch he asked me what do you think the price of gas is on the reservation. He told me gas there is .35 cents a gallon. I was shocked .

I only run Shell fuel in my vehicles, unless I'm in a crunch. I WON"T get gas from a middle-man like Kroger or Speedway. Scotty is absolutely correct about how they purchase their fuel, however, what he doesn't mention is, the fuel that is sold off from the big producers, Shell, BP, Mobil, is what's left over AFTER those companies take theirs. You're literally getting bottom of the barrel gasoline from places that don't produce their own. By default, water sinks to the bottom, dirt & debris sink to the bottom etc. Maybe I'm off in my thinking, but the bottom of the barrel isn't where I want my fuel coming from.

One thing you did not mention is how maintained the tanks are.
