    Tank Blanketing, for long term storage on big tanks?

    Most of us run our diesel generators a couple hours every quarter....many run them every month. This is generator/engine maintenance. You heat things up to operating temperature and drive out any moisture collected in the system. And you can catch any leaks or problems on a nice sunny day...

    I used to make wine in my basement. Instead of bottling it I decided to try and store it in 5 gallon stainless steel coke kegs....ONCE. I filled the air gap with N2 and then pushed the wine out of the keg with N2. The wine went bad in a very few short weeks. I could not get ALL of the air...
