I recall long standing animosity from Knowit towards Pier 19, mostly centered on the seaplane issues for anybody who wants to look it up. I do not see Knowit as a reliable source vs Pier 19 without some corroboration from another source. Over the years I have had water in the gas, but not from filling up somewhere; intrusion after rough water into the tank vent was one issue. DES is the oversight authority. There is a board that oversees gas and oil discharges and has funds and authority for clean up when appropriate ("Oil Fund Disbursement Board") Owners/operators of gas storage tanks use a dipstick to determine usage and as a backup source to match existing volume to sales receipts. There is a paste that goes on the dipstick that changes color when it contacts water in the tank, as water separates and settles to the bottom of the tank. We're still early in the season. If your tank was stored with only a little gas, there's room in the tank for condensation. Adding a dry gas additive is often a simple solution.
