Description
By definition, the process of forming soaps results in removing the corrosion inhibitor from the fuel and, as a result, removes ability of the corrosion inhibitor to provide protection to the metal surface. Keep in mind that the soaps would not have formed if it were not for the trace contaminants that some feel should not be in fuel in the first place. Regardless, the fuel will most likely need to be treated (with a properly formulated additive) to provide corrosion protection for the entire fuel handling system, including the storage tanks.
