I do not know every thing -- I was just reading a passing on info -- thanks for the input -- I can not afford to let mine get low -- S/C

And what do you think about the gas station issue?

I'm on the fence about the gas station issue. I can see it being a problem at older gas stations, but most newer stations must know this is an issue. Like everything I would think that the 'technology', even for gas station tanks, would be improving over time. I thought I had read or heard somewhere that when the tanker truck drops the fuel it doesn't go into the exact same tank, or a different chamber of the tank, where the gas pump is pulling from. Therefore eliminating or reducing the amount of sediment floating around to be pumped into your vehicle. I looked around this morning, but couldn't find any information regarding that subject. Maybe I just dreamed it up.
