> Does anyone know if steel tanks at ambient temps (like 250 gallon oil > stove tanks) will condense moisture on the exposed walls if they are not full?
Yes they do. Any vented container will do this. That's also why it is wise to fill up fuel tanks on lawn mowers and other outdoor ICE appliances after each use. > Should storage of BioD incorporate a water trap? Tank on a slight incline and a simple petcock drain would suffice.
