The increased corrosion in the diesel infrastructure was first noticed in 2007, shortly after the introduction of ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel) biodiesel blends. In 2016, the EPA published it's research results, which found 83% of storage tanks have moderate to severe corrosion. Is it now 100% severe?
Go to the Tab Corrosion to understand the corrosion mechanism, and learn about the SAE J1488 standards based solution to control corrosion in stored diesel.
