The corrosion inhibitor chemical reacts only with the moisture on the tank bottom and reduces the corrosive activity. Please refer to the Lincoln Laboratory website for corrosion inhibitor information.

Related QuestionsWhy should I leave my oil tank full through the summer?
Frequently Asked QuestionsWhen you leave an oil tank only partly full over the summer, you're also leaving a pocket of air inside where water can condense. Moisture is all it takes for bacteria to build up and grow. After the bacteria dies, it falls to the bottom of your tank and helps create sludge - a leading cause of system breakdowns. The condensed water can also corrode your tank and, if it gets into your heating system, it becomes another cause of breakdowns.
