Was at the Military Fuels conference last week, to present on advanced materials for liquid-phase desulfurization of logistics fuels. A colleague mentioned that in water compensated tanks (i.e. ships), low sulfur fuels allowed greater growth of algae and other things at the interface, and biocorrosion was significantly faster. ULSD at 15 ppm doesnt have enough biocide activity to prevent this.
Unsure of how this relates to air-compensated (standard) tanks, but ULSD may potentially allow higher biological growth, especially in consistently humid areas. May want to consider treating for this.
Will provide info if I hear anything else.
