Keeping fuel tanks clean is an essential practice that prevents costly headaches year-round, but with Colorado’s winter weather clean tanks are absolutely critical. Too many companies and facilities get caught off guard when the first cold snap hits. They’ve got their winterized fuel delivered, premium additives mixed in, all the right preparations made. The only problem is, they put good fuel into a dirty storage tank.
Cold weather amplifies every problem hiding in your tanks. Contamination that might cause minor hiccups in summer can shut you down completely in winter.
Water that’s been sitting idly in your tank all year can freeze and create ice crystals that clog fuel lines faster than you can say “emergency repair.” Sludge buildup turns into a thick mess in winter temperatures, choking your entire system. And while microbial growth might die off in the cold, it doesn’t just disappear. It settles into your fuel lines right when you need reliable flow the most.
