When you are dead it's likely you won't know it. It could be difficult for others. It's the same if you are stupid.

Re: YOU Want to Keep Corrosion From Destroying Your Tanks and Sumps?
Nitrogen is an effective means to store volatile substances especially diesel fuels disposed to oxidation issues. Tank blanketing with nitrogen (an inert dry gas) is a safe and reliable technique to remove two legs of the corrosion (oxygen and moisture) triangle.
Humid and moist air (oxygen) in the head spaces of tanks and sumps is simply replaced with pure and dry nitrogen as the tank fills and empties. Nitrogen serves as a protective blanket, thus the term nitrogen blanketing or tank dry inert gas purging.
