Not only that, but we use a plastic fuel cell that is 100% sealed and pressurized.
What would make it a "dirty ass tank"???
The only chance any airborne dust or dirt has to enter is the 2-3 minutes you have the fuel nozzle stuck in the filler neck. I just don't see a great amount of foreign objects entering the fuel cell.
You are more likely to get FO in the tank and subsequent problems by going to old or cheap gas stations.
Even new stations get gas from OLD trucks and the trucks get the gas from OLD refirnery storage tanks, etc. A new station doesn't guarantee clean gas.
I would describe our fuel tanks as fuel tanks, not fuel cells since we have no filler material to prevent explosion or rupture leaks (as does a fuel cell).
