It was my experience that the 90% rule never existed in Wisconsin and the UP... it sucked,was nerve wracking and that was one of the main things that caused my exit from hauling gas.. I may have an argument.. but I get sick of having the same argument every day.

[QUOTE="semi" retired;4336724]Hi Big Don, I was always more worried about water in the underground tank, being stirred up by a load of fuel being dropped. When I worked at a gas station, when we'd "stick" the tanks, we'd put this goop from a tube on the stick, and it would turn purple when it hit water, and sometimes there would be an inch or so of water in the bottom of the tank. Diesel seems to be worse, and when I had my truck, I'd get fuel somewhere a tanker was making a drop, only to have the engine sputter later, and half my fuel filter was water, so I never did that again. (fuel where a tanker was)[/QUOTE]
Yeah we have water paste, very nasty stuff, that we put on our sticks to see if it turns bright red. If we find more than an inch of water we let dispatch know. It gets taken care of pretty quicklyBig Don Thanks this. -
bantering back and forth about this. how about the elephant in the room, did any one fuel up there truck with that gas fuel mix before it was caught? seen that happen years back to a driver. engine ran like a rapped ape right before it scattered.
