Just a word for you guys.... if you see a tanker truck
in the station dumping fuel.... pass on your fill up
for a hour or so.... as he is dumping fuel in the tanks
he is stirring up the water at the bottom(ALL of the
tanks have water in them)... let it settle out then
you can fill
Not true since ethanol's introduction. Keeps water out in big tanks just like little tanks.

Humm.... Fuel tanks... I have seen one or two over the years, The fuel quality is only one part of the equation, the required testing of bulk fuel batches provides protection that most all fuels are good @ that point... the storage and distribution system plays a huge part in what you burn, some stations maintain their systems better than others, some don't maintain @ all...not even a pump filter  those are the ones to avoid cause in effect you are cleaning the storage tank when you buy your fuel  If your fuel has ethanol and you live on the east coast in a humid location, pump a new gal into a see thru container and let it sit for a week @ check out what you paid close to 4 bucks for

I don't get that one?? 
Ethanol is hygroscopic and phase separation is a huge problem in marine apps.

So you think there isnt water setting in the bottom
of a stations tanks... You think the ethanol just
absorbs the water and holds it... let it set and
you'll see
